Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

 The study aimed at exploring the views of teachers on ways in which Religious Education is assessed and reasons why students’ performance is going down over the years in Religious Education. The study further explores how assessment could be used to enhance the teaching and learning of Religious Education and the challenges entailed. Data were collected through interviews and analysis of documents and the sample was made up of five Religious Education teachers in a junior secondary school in a semi-urban setting. The findings indicated that teachers experienced challenges in the assessment of the multi faith Religious Education syllabus in terms of lack of assessment skills such as producing highquality type of assessment items.
