Educational Psychology / Unit 12 EDP 1101 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation
Captions available
The idea
Assessment is gathering information and judging students' progress; measurement assigns numbers, answering "how much?"; evaluation makes judgments about students, methods or one's own teaching.
In practice
Scoring a quiz 18 of 20 is measurement; deciding the student has mastered fractions is evaluation.
Where people slip
Assessment is the broad process that includes both measuring and judging.
