Perspective on Educational

Assessment, Measurement and


Evaluation
As teaching is causing learning among
learners, teachers need to be thoroughly
aware of the processes in determining how
successful they are in the aforementioned
task. They need to know whether their
students are achieving successfully the
knowledge, skills and the values inherent in
their lessons.
Therefore, it is critical for beginning
teachers to build a repertoire of effective
strategies for performing their executive
function of assessment, measurement and
evaluation of student learning.
Measurement as used in education is the
quantification of what students learned
through the use of test, questionnaires, rating
scales, checklists, and other devices.
Assessment, however, refers to the full range of
information gathered and synthesized by
teachers about their classrooms. This
information can be gathered in informal ways,
such as through observation or verbal
exchange. It can also be gathered through
formal ways, such as assignment, tests and
written reports or outputs
Evaluation is a process of making judgments,
assigning value or deciding on the worth of
student’s performance.
Measurement answers the question, how
much does a student learn or know?
Assessment looks into how much change has
occurred on the student’s acquisition of skill,
knowledge or value before and after a given
learning experience. Since evaluation is
concerned with making judgments on the
worth or value of a performance, it answers
the question, how good, adequate or
desirable it is? Measurement and assessment
are both essential to evaluation.

approach to evaluation wherein a student’s
performance is compared against a
predetermined or agreed upon standard.
Basic Guidelines in Educational Assessment,
Measurement and Evaluation
The following are principles that serve as a
guide to educational assessment,
measurement and evaluation :
1. Teachers need to know how much they are
doing;
2. Students need to know how well they are
doing
3. Evidence, feedback and input data for
knowing how well the students and teachers
are doing should come from a variety of
sources;
4. Evaluation is a continuing process to check
on programs and modify/ adopt strategies to
promote desired behavior;
5. The procedures used for assessing student
learning must be compatible.

the evaluation of teacher performance, as
