評価の基準|Evaluation Criteria|2021/02/05

学生の成績をつける。予め評価基準をきめてあるので、それに沿って点数化し、最終的には5段階評価にする。ふと自分が学生時代の評価を思い出して、その成績の低さにゲンナリした。昔は優・良・可・不可で、ボクは必修単位ギリギリでしかも優は4つだけ。大学に行かずにブラブラしていた代償だ。評価は機械的に行えばいいのかもしれないが、よく考えると難しい。学びの場なので、最初できなかった学生が学習の結果飛躍的に伸びたことを評価するのか、出発点は関係なく結果だけを評価するのか。また総合点にするとバランスが問われるけれど、本当はある一点が優れていることも大切だったりする。しかし評価の表現としては5段階しかない。本当はみんなそれぞれにいい評価のはずなんだけどなぁ...。(絵と文:サカキテツ朗)

In the old days, it was excellent, good, acceptable, and unacceptable, and I took only required credits, and there were only four excellent credits. It's the trade off wandering around without going to college. It will be good to evaluate mechanically, but it is difficult to think about it. Since it is a place for learning, do students who could not do it at first evaluate the dramatic increase as a result of learning, or do they evaluate only the result regardless of the starting point? In addition, although balance is required when making a total score, it is also important that one point is actually excellent. However, there are only five levels of evaluation. Actually, everyone should have a good evaluation ... -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
