Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
For year, the educational systems in many countries everywhere in the world have been urging teachers to coach their students to foster competences basing on complex problem solving. As lot of country, Benin has not kept away that move. Unfortunately the adequate implementation of the competency based approach in Bénin has been running their education policy smoothly. The evaluations have kept on being designed similarly to the ones in the objective based programs. In this context that this study aims to evaluate the problematical of assessment of learning in physical, chemistry and technology science in our secondary schools under the guidance of the competency-based-approach. This has brought us to raise the following question: haven’t the incoherencies noticed in the implementation of the Competency-based Approach impacted the evaluation process negatively? To answer that question we have: carried out investigations to get the opinion of two hundred teachers including inspectors, subject advisors, subject supervisors posted in Benin; analysed the content of some summative tests designed ; proposed two evaluation cases as models. Therefore, we can answer the previously raised question by stating that the incoherencies noticed in the implementation of the Competency-based Approach have impacted the evaluation process in SPCT negatively.
