“Examination should test the real knowledge of students; it is not a reproduction of what a teacher has taught,” Vice-Chancellor of Central University of Karnataka Battu Satyanarayana has said.
He was speaking after the inauguration of a six-day Workshop-cum-Training Programme on Testing, Evaluation and Question Item Writing in Kannada organised by the Department of Linguistics, Central University, in association with the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysuru.
“Many a time, teachers just take question papers of the previous two or three years and prepare new question papers. It is very unfortunate that we don’t set questions in a scientific way. Teachers should set question papers in a creative way avoiding repetitions. Today, teachers are concentrating more on politics than on developing language,” he said.
