Measurement involves assigning symbols to phenomena to characterize it precisely. Evaluation determines how well educational objectives are realized. Measurement is part of evaluation by providing quantitative data like percentages and averages. Evaluation judges measurement data and determines if outcomes are good, bad or average. The key difference is that measurement provides quantitative data while evaluation makes qualitative judgements about the data and educational outcomes.

2. MEASUREMENTMEASUREMENT
According to Bradfield,
“Measurement is a process of
assigning symbols to the
dimensions of phenomenon in
order to characterize the status of
the phenomenon as precisely as
possible.”

3. Functions of Measurement
According to Lee J. Cornbach (1949)
• Prognosis Function
• Diagnosis Function
• Research Function

4. EVALUATIONEVALUATION
• “Evaluation is the process of
determining to what extend the
educational objectives are
being realized.” - Ralph Tyler

5. Aim of EvaluationAim of Evaluation
Main aim of Evaluation is to
improve educational
program of the school and
to make it more effective.

6. Functions of EvaluationFunctions of Evaluation
Educational Evaluation can be considered a
process of determining:-
1. The extend and how well an educational
objective is being attained.
2. The effectiveness of teaching- learning
experience provided in the classroom.

10. Need and Importance ofNeed and Importance of
EvaluationEvaluation
 To fulfill classroom objectives
 To diagnose learning difficulties of students
 To determine readiness for new learning
experiences
 To form students' classroom groups for special
activities
 To assist students in their problems of
adjustment
 To prepare reports of pupils' progress

11. RELATIONSHIPRELATIONSHIP
When we assign a score on a given task
performed by a learner, we are doing an
act of measurement. When we compare
this score with those of other learners
and judge whether it is
good/bad/average or
satisfactory/unsatisfactory, we are doing
an act of evaluation

12. Measurement is a part of process of
Evaluation
Measurement is that part of Evaluation
which is expressed in percentage,
quantity, digits, mean and average.
Evaluation depends upon measurement
but it is not synonymous to it.

13. Evaluation encompasses but goes
beyond the meaning of the terms “test”
and “measurement”

14. Sound evaluation is based upon the
results of accurate and relevant
measurement.
Measurement gives an evaluator a
quantitative description.
Measurement is only a tool to be used
in evaluation, by itself it is meaningless

15. DIFFERENCES

19. Sound Evaluation is based upon
the results of measurement.
The judgement based upon
the measurement is termed
as evaluation
