Abstract

Evaluation is an important part of education process at school. It plays a significant role in the development of school culture.
The paper deals with the terms connected with the evaluation process in teaching and explains the differences between monitoring, testing, assessing, measuring and grading. Special attention has been given to the purpose, function, types and forms of evaluation within the teaching process. The author also focuses on two different kinds of evaluation - student-directed and teacher-directed evaluation.
The research presented in this paper studied teachers’ attitudes towards the evaluation process in primary schools. The aim was to examine their opinions and attitudes to evaluation. Furthermore, the author tried to identify variables which could be linked to positive or negative i attitudes towards evaluation.
As a result, the number of years of working experience has turned out to be connected with teachers' attitudes towards evaluation in their classrooms, whereas other examined factors showed no significant differences in teachers' attitudes
