This chapter deals with the Background of the Study, Statement of Problem, Problem of Study, Significance of the Study, Research Question, Limitation of the study, and Definitions of Terms.

The National Policy on Education (NPE) introduced some noble ideas at Channeling Education to the development of Nigeria’s economic, political, sociological, and human resources.  One of the innovative ideas in the policy is the liberalization of the Educational assessment and evaluation by using them in part or in whole on continuous assessment of the progress of the individual (Federal Republic of Nigeria F.R.N 2004)

Prior to the institution of continuous assessment procedure of evaluation, one-short.  The summative evaluation was practiced under this system of assessment emphasis is on decisions at the end of the term or year.  One shortcoming of this practice is that it is too late to help pupils or students improve on their learning because most of them would be going on to their classes, courses or topics.  As a result, Education System (including the pupils, the teachers, the curricula, and the administrators) is denied an opportunity for meaningful full growth.  It is unwise and unnecessary to deny the educational system this essential feedback.
