| Summary: | The study investigated the impact of continuous assessment on pupils’ performance at PLE in Kisoro district– a case study of Rwabara primary school. The study was based on the following objectives; to assess the impact, examine the contributions, and identify strategies for improving continuous assessment of pupils’ performance in PLE. The researcher used a simple descriptive design while questionnaires and interviews were used for gathering data from respondents.
The study found out that the major effects of continuous assessment on pupils’ performance in PLE are; that it enables pupils to master the content, helps in identifying weak students who can be improved, and builds the whole mind of pupils as they prepare for final examinations and encouraging pupils learn to revise from time to time which increases retention and memorization. A moderate number of respondents argued that continuous assessment is time-consuming and may slow syllabus completion. End-of-term exams, daily homework, and weekly tests were the major forms of continuous assessments used in primary schools in Rwabara Primary School in the Kisoro district.
The study recommended that school administrators should strengthen their role in the inspection so that teachers can conduct regular assessments as the curriculum requires, the government of Uganda through the Ministry of Education and Sports should hold regular training for teachers so that they can acquire more knowledge about modern methods of continuous assessment of pupils in PLE, school administrators such as head teachers should effectively motivate teachers through recognition, giving attractive allowances, fair salaries so that they can be inspired to work effectively towards of education goals. |
