UNDERSTANDING THE LEARNING EVALUATION

Evaluation can be defined as an activity that is planned to determine the state of an object by using the instruments and the results were compared with a
benchmarks to obtain a conclusion. The main function of evaluation is to examine an object or situation to get the right information as a basis for decision making
According Grondlund opinions and Linn (1990) says that pembelajran evaluation is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting information secaras
systematically to determine the extent of achievement of learning objectives.
To obtain the right information in the evaluation is done through measurement activities. Measurement is a process of scoring or the numbers of a condition or symptom based atura-specific rules. Thus there is strong correlation between measurements (measurment) and evaluation (evaluation) activities is a basic measurement in the evaluation.
Evaluation is the process of describing, collecting and presenting some useful information for consideration in the decision. Evaluation is an evaluation of learning in the field of learning. The objective evaluation
learning is to gather information as fundamental to know the extent of progress, development, and achievement of student learning and teaching effectiveness of teachers. Evaluation of learning includes the measurement and assessment activities. When viewed from the goal, the learning evaluation is divided based on diagnostic evaluation, selective, placement, formative and summative. When viewed from the target,
evaluation of learning can be distinguished on the evaluation context, inputs, processes, results and outcom. The evaluation process carried out through three phases: planning, execution, processing and reporting.

Types of Learning Evaluation

A. This type of evaluation based on the objectives of the five types of evaluation are distinguished:
1. Diagnostic evaluation diagnostic evaluation is an evaluation which aimed to examine the weaknesses of students and their contributing factors.
2. Evaluation of selective selective evaluation is an evaluation that is used to select the most appropriate Siwa in accordance with criteria specific program activities.
3. Evaluation of placement Eva; uasi placement is an evaluation that is used to place students in certain educational programs in accordance with the characteristics of students.
4. Formative evaluation
5. Formative evaluation Formative evaluation is evaluation carried out to improve and increase the process of learning and teaching.
6. Summative Evaluation Summative Evaluation is an evaluation conducted to determine the outcome and progress bekajra students.

B. This type of evaluation based on the target:

1. Evaluation The evaluation context is intended to measure the context of good programs on rational objectives, background programs, as well as the needs that arise in planning
2. Evaluation Evaluation input that is directed to determine whether the input of resources and strategies used to achieve the goal.
3. Evaluation Evaluation is the process aimed to see the process of implementation, both on kalancaran process, compliance with plans, supporting factors and resistance factor that emerged in the process of implementation, and the like.
4. Evaluation of the results or product evaluation program is directed to look at the results achieved as a basis for determining the final decision, repaired, modified, upgraded or discontinued.
5. Evaluation Evaluation outcom or graduates who are directed to look further student learning outcomes, evaluation of graduates yankni after plunging into the community.

C. Type of evaluation based on the scope of learning activities:

1. Evaluation Evaluais learning program that includes the objectives of learning, content learning programs, teaching and learning strategies, aspe-learning other aspects of the program.
2. Evaluation Evaluation of the learning process that includes the adjustment of learning peoses with the outlines of the learning program that is set, the ability of teachers in implementing the learning process, students' skills in following the learning process.
3. Evaluation Evaluation of learning outcomes learning outcomes include the level of student mastery of defined learning objectives, both general and specific, are reviewed in cognitive, affective, psychomotor.

D. This type of evaluation based on the object and subject of evaluation by the object:

1. Evaluation Evaluation of student input includes the ability of personality, attitudes, beliefs.
2. Evaluation Evaluation tnsformasi against each transformation elements of learning processes among other materials, media, and other methods.
3. Evaluation The evaluation of the graduate output refers to the achievement of learning outcomes.
Based on the subject:
1. Evaluation of internal evaluation done by people in the school as an evaluator, such as teachers.
2. External Evaluation
3. Evaluation is done by people outside the school as evaluators, such as parents, community.
