Research towards the Creation of New Evaluation Criteria,

Process and Tools for the growth of consciousness

Whereas there is a plethora of Objective Evaluation formats and criteria, The Gnostic Centre has been doing specialized action research towards the development of Subjective Evaluation process and criteria, hitherto unattempted in academia. For an integral growth and development of individuals and societies, it is not only sufficient that the content and methodology of education encompass the subjective realms of consciousness; the evaluation process too must encourage an engagement with attitudinal process and change.

Some of the evaluation criteria being used are:
• Coherence of the thesis
• Understanding & Assimilation of the material
• Creativity of thinking & presentation
• Rigour & detail in treatment
• Extent & accuracy of scholarship
• Spiritual relevance for oneself
• Spiritual relevance for others
