Sažetak
The article portrays the complexity of classroom examination and grading of pupils via theexplication of the meaning and tasks of this stage of the teaching process and by stressingthe difficulties that arise during its realization. The legal framework for the conducting of theexamination and grading of pupils in elementary and high schools is also outlined.The practice of classroom examination and grading is shown through the analysis andinterpretation of the results of a survey of a group of elementary and highschool pupils (N=147)about the said process. The most common and the preferred types and the pupils' opinion of thein/correctness and transparency of the testing and grading of pupils' knowledge and abilities inclassroom practice were determined, as well as the opportunities for self-evaluation. The gathereddata indicate a lack of variety in the ways of conducting this stage of the teaching process, thepupils aren't always given adequate feedback information about the results of their work andthe examination is predominantly a teachers activity during which the pupils most often aren'tgiven a chance to independently evaluate their progress in learning and carrying out classroomassignments. The above mentioned logically leads to the impression, commonly present amongpupils, that they were incorrectly graded.Classroom examination and grading should take into consideration the complexity of the pupil'spersonality and her original contribution in class. It is partially possible to achieve that by usingdifferent methods of realization, by giving clear information about the results of their studying,and by a greater degree of inclusion of the pupils in evaluating the progress of their studying.
