Educational objectives

Data derived from analysis of RMs in EQA schemes may be informative and, as discussed above, help to direct and stimulate the laboratory towards providing results in the day to day work, which are accurate, precise and appropriate to the needs for which they were requested. Alternatively a scheme may operate simply to identify poor performance, so as to prohibit laboratories from carrying out certain tasks. The disadvantage of just an educational objective is that there are no sanctions to ensure that poor performance does not continue without being corrected. With licensing, if a laboratory is seen to fail, they wiU lose income and, to avoid controversy, the analytical standards may be set at a very low level so that only the grossly incompetent are eliminated.

There are various kinds of motion pictures. Here we are concerned with the educational films. Educational films include documentary and instructional films.

In words of Kothari Commission (1966) "Evaluation is a continuous process, it forms an integral part of the total system of education, and is intimately related to educational objectives. It exercises a great influence on the pupil s study habits and teachers methods of instruction and thus helps not only to measure educational achievement but also to improve it the techniques of evaluation are means of collecting evidences about the students development in desirable directions". 

The organisation of knowledge supports learning and retention of knowledge learned. Various theories have been propounded. Gagne s structuralist theory which is based on Blooms Taxonomy of Educational objectives has played a major role. Science, A Process Approach (SAPA) developed by American Association for the Advancement of Science used this theory to construct learning network of hierchies.
