The document discusses measurement and evaluation in education. It defines measurement as quantifying student achievement, attributes, and skills, and evaluation as making judgments about a subject's merit using standards. Evaluation involves systematically determining if educational objectives are achieved by learners. Key points include:
- Evaluation assesses objectives, programs, teachers, and learners through diagnostic, formative, summative, and placement evaluation.
- Measurement and evaluation serve instructional, administrative, and research purposes such as guiding curriculum development and informing parents.
- Good measuring instruments are valid, reliable, and usable. Tests are constructed through planning content based on objectives, writing items, selecting questions, pre-testing, and preparing papers.
