PSSSB Clerk Mock Test - 10 - Question 21
Which of the following is ICT-enable evaluation method?
Detailed Solution for PSSSB Clerk Mock Test - 10 - Question 21

Information and communications technology (ICT) is an extensional term for information technology (IT) that stresses the role of unified communications. ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audiovisual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system.

  • ICT is an umbrella term that includes any communication device, encompassing radio, television, cell phones, computer and network hardware, satellite systems, and so on, as well as the various services and appliances with them such as video conferencing and distance learning.

Key Points

  • ICT can be used as an assessment tool to evaluate students. The term ‘assessment’ in education means the procedure that is used to collect information about the knowledge, attitude, and skills of a learner. There are various ways to carry out assessment: oral, aural, written, and performance-based.
  • Online assessment is an ICT-enable evaluation method. Online assessment is the process of conducting a test online to gauge the participants’ learning and mastery over a particular subject.
  • An online assessment may be administered with a specific intent, such as ascertaining a candidate’s skills, knowledge, or learning abilities.
  • In simple terms, an online assessment is a structured, meticulous evaluation of an individual’s skills, characteristics, knowledge, or expertise. The test is hosted online via modern web-based technologies.
  • Online assessments comprise a series of questions that assess multiple aspects of a test-taker and are created based on the job role, level, and competency requirements.

Hence, it could be concluded that Online assessment is an ICT-enable evaluation method.

Additional Information

  • Personal interviews: Personal interview is basically a meeting organized by a recruiter in which he evaluates a potential employee for prospective employment. However, this meeting should be considered as a two-way process between the candidate and the interviewer. So, it is not an ICT-enabled evaluation method, rather, it is a meeting to check one's capability.
  • Pen and paper tests: It is a written exam (with a pen & paper), as opposed to an exam taken electronically (via computer). So, it is not an ICT-enabled evaluation method.
  • A student portfolio is a compilation of academic work and other forms of educational evidence assembled for the purpose of (1) evaluating coursework quality, learning progress, and academic achievement; (2) determining whether students have met learning standards or other academic requirements for courses, grade-level promotion, and graduation; (3) helping students reflect on their academic goals and progress as learners; and (4) creating a lasting archive of academic work products, accomplishments, and other documentation. So, it is not an ICT-enabled evaluation method.
