Abstract

Abstract : The aim of this study was to identify the current status of continuous assessment of students in Mathematics from the teachers' point of view in upper grades in Dammam primary schools by knowing the importance of applying continuous assessment, the primary tools of continuous assessment, the most important procedures used in applying continuous assessment, and difficulties during the application of continuous assessment, with consideration to the study variables: education qualification, years of experience and the number of training courses in the field of continuous assessment. To achieve the objective of the study, a questionnaire of 56 items was used. The study was implemented on 134 teachers. The questionnaire validity and reliability were verified. The researcher used the descriptive method and other appropriate statistical methods. The study results showed the high importance of applying continuous assessment and revealed that the most important tools of continuous assessment are: systematic classroom observation, homework, and regular classroom observation. The most important procedures used in applying continuous assessment are: teaching students a new skill, then assessing their level of mastery, and informing parents of the student's level. Regarding difficulties during continuous assessment, the main difficulties encountered were: the large number of teachers conducting classes, the large number of students in each classroom, and the heavy tasks assigned to teachers at school. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the effect of educational qualifications on the four topics. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the effect of years of experience on the four topics, except for the importance of applying continuous assessment and the existence of statistically significant differences in the benefits of teachers with 16 years of experience or more. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the effect of the number of training courses on the four topics In light of the study results, the researcher recommends: Issuance of a unified manual for continuous assessment for Math and for each class level separately, as well as training teachers and school principals to be well prepared. Organize programs through various media to raise parents and public awareness of the importance of continuous assessment
