Educational Evaluation and Assessment

Educational evaluation and assessment involve measuring students’ knowledge, skills, and understanding to determine how well they are learning. Evaluation is a broad process that looks at the overall effectiveness of teaching and learning programs, often including feedback for improvement. Assessment is more focused on specific tools or tests used to gauge individual student performance at a particular point in time. Together, they help educators identify strengths and weaknesses, guide instruction, and ensure students are progressing toward their learning goals in a fair and meaningful way.
