Abstract

School evaluation is an important part of quality education. In essence, evaluation is a feedback for the evaluated individual on the quality of their performance, results and efficiency of their performed work, but it also contributes to the development of the personality of the pupil and their self-evaluation ability, which can be applied throughout their future life. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of the quality of providing feedback in school education and to find out how teachers currently use evaluation in pedagogical practice, what are the motives of their choice and what positives and negatives they see in singular forms and types of evaluation. Based on a qualitative survey conducted through a semi-structured interview, I show how teachers perceive the different forms and types of evaluation and the reasons for their use in pedagogical praxis. It turns out that teachers still mainly use quantitative evaluation, which they almost regularly supplement with qualitative forms. The main reason is to shape pupils' personality and to support their ability to realise mistakes and learn from them in the future.
