Guide to Evaluation: A Handbook is a very helpful guide for teachers who are serious in their quest to achieve excellence in the transfer of information.
The handbook covers five major areas : fundamental concepts, behavioral objectives, test construction, test improvement and test interpretation. Because testing is not just trying to find out whether the learning process has ended taken place but also that the methodologies employed in the transfer of information are being analyzed, it is therefore of utmost importance that the interplay of information dissemination and the processing of this information is given due emphasis.
This handbook is therefore a significant contribution in demystifying the testing and evaluation process even as it points to the teacher as facilitator and not the central focus of the learning process.
