The document discusses assessment, evaluation, and measurement in education. It defines assessment as gathering information about students' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs through measurable means. Formative assessment provides ongoing feedback to improve teaching and learning, while summative assessment evaluates learning at the end of a period. Evaluation makes judgments about student progress and achievement based on qualitative and subjective means. Measurement assigns numbers to student characteristics in a precise, scientific manner. The purposes of evaluation include facilitating learning, diagnosing problems, making decisions, and improving products and effectiveness.
