BASIC CONCEPTS OF ASSESSMENT

MEASUREMENT- As used in education, it is the qualification of what students have

learned through the used of tests, questionnaires, rating scales and other devices.

(It answers the question, “How much does a student learn or know”)

ASSESSMENT- Refers to the full range information gathered and synthesized by

teachers about their students and their classroom.

(It looks into, “How much change occurred on the student’s acquisition of a skill,
knowledge, knowledge or value before and after a given leaning experience”)

EVALUATION- Is a process of making judgements, assigning value or dealing on the

worth of students performance.

 MEASUREMENT AND ASSESSMENT ARE ESSENTIAL TO

EVALUATION

 ASSESSMENT FOCUSES NOT ONLY ON THE NATURE OF THE

LEARNER BUT ALSO ON WHAT TO BE LEARNED AND HOW IT IS TO
BE LEARNED.

EDUCATIONAL MEASUREMENT

Knowledge of subject matter

 This can measured through standardized test results (the measurement procedure
is testing.)
 This can be measured through perceptions (Ask a group experts to rate student’s
or teachers knowledge of the subject matter in a scale of 1 to 5.)

TYPES OF MEASUREMENT

1. OBJECTIVE- measurement are more stable than subjective measurement in the sense
that repeated measurement of the same quantity or quality of interest will produce more
or less the same outcome.
2. SUBJECTIVE- Some facets which can’t be captured by objective procedures which
can be done by subjective methods: Aesthetic appeal of a product or project.
