Should Exams be outlawed in favor of another Assessment?

Abstract

The present research work attempts to affirm the negative impact of examinations on students learning and personal life aspects, which urges for replacing exams via assessments implementation. Consequently, because of the positive impact of assessments in involving students in the learning process. In this respect, we hypothesize that if exams were outlawed with assessments, the learning experience would be developed. In order to check our hypotheses; the Descriptive Statistical Method has been relied on. As a result, a students’ questionnaire has been published online as an instrument used in this investigation to collect data. The latter has been provided to a sample group of EFL (English as Foreign Language) students in the University of Djilali Bounaama (khemis Miliana). The aim of this questionnaires was to gather significant information about the damage students encounter in exams, in addition to the role, effectiveness, and importance of implementing assessments in developing the learning experience for EFL classroom
