Abstract

Grading reflects the students training level. Its rate, the correlation between the objectives of the course and
the student’s preparation can be determined by an efficient assessment system. Based on these information, different approaches of the educational model can be followed. The evaluation has three important functions: classification and selection, ranking students, by providing them indirect recommendations to society, in order to choose and occupy positions in production; educational, aspect considered by many researchers, and which influences the mental and intellectual development of learners, forms the principles and skills, acts on the affective-emotional-motivational side;social, regarding the influence of society on the results. Students thus know the school requirements. Learn to selfappreciate, to self-evaluate. Evaluation by grading becomes an instrument of their conduct for a certain period. The correct appreciation is stimulating. Evaluation exerts educational influence on students' aspirations and interests and at the same time on the teacher, by regulating and self-regulating the pedagogical behaviour. The evaluation brings the element of novelty, being related to certain criteria. It must be done in relation to the pedagogical objectives of learning, forming a continuous cycle: from it one starts, to it one returns. In modern pedagogy this idea become a fundament. Inrelation to what is pursued, the learning contents, the means, the forms of development of the educational activities and
those of evaluation are established.
