In this paper, the author proposes a simple classification of objectives-based evaluation systems in terms of two inherent characteristics or functions they might serve. These functions are (1) evaluation scope, and (2) program generality. According to the author, the development of multipurpose, multiprogram evaluation systems in a broad variety of content areas will serve to bridge the gap between objectives used by classroom teachers in their day-to-day instruction and the goals used in evaluating schools as total entities.
