The objective of physics laboratory training is to develop, in students, avariety of important cognitive and psycho-motor abilities related toexperimental physics. These include conceptual understanding, proceduralunderstanding, experimental skills and the experimental problem solvingability. It has been noted that strategies adopted for the assessment of whatstudents learn and develop through a laboratory course are often inconsistentwith the objectives of the laboratory courses. The author has developed acomprehensive assessment strategy which can be used at the school, college anduniversity level. The strategy is based on four tools of assessment, namely,test on conceptual understanding, test on procedural understanding, anexperimental test, and the continuous assessment. The relative weightage foreach of the four tools depends on the level and emphasis of the laboratorycourse. The four tools of assessment, with respect to the type of questions,design, grading schemes, administration of each tool have been described with afew sample questions for each tool of assessment. This assessment strategy isbeing practiced and its effectiveness studied during a series of specialcourses in experimental physics in India. Furthermore, a survey was carried outwith university teachers from across India to check the acceptability andfeasibility of using this strategy for larger number of students inuniversities and most of the participating teachers supported the use of thisstrategy.
