This document discusses educational measurement and evaluation. It begins by defining key concepts like evaluation, measurement, and tests. Evaluation involves making value judgments, while measurement associates numbers with phenomena. Tests determine presence, quality, or genuineness. The relationship between measurement and evaluation is also explained. The document then covers major types of evaluation like program evaluation, which assesses projects and policies, and student evaluation, which assesses learning experiences. Formative evaluation informs improvement, while summative evaluation makes judgments after a program. The role and need for evaluation in education is to help achieve objectives, plan strategies, and refine techniques. Placement, formative, diagnostic, and summative evaluations can be used in classrooms. Results are interpreted through

Measurement
 Concept of Evaluation
 Concept of Measurement
 Concept of Test
 Relationship of Measurement and Evaluation

6. Concept of Evaluation
 Evaluation is a systematic determination of a subject's merit,
worth and significance, using criteria governed by a set of
standards.
 It gives the value judgment to the numerical value. It includes
both tangible and intangible qualities.

7. Concept of Measurement
 Measurement, the process of associating numbers with
physical quantities and phenomena.
 Measurement begins with a definition of the quantity that is to
be measured, and it always involves a comparison with some
known quantity of the same kind.

8. Concept of Test
 Test definition, the means by which the presence, quality, or
genuineness of anything is determined; a means of trial.
 A test is a deliberate action or experiment to find out how
well something works.

9. Relationship of Measurement and Evaluation
Measurement Evaluation
1. It is the science of collecting and
ordering information about objects to be
studied.
1. It involves the use of information
collected by the process of
measurement.
2. It refers to a precise and quantitative
value.
2. It means a subjective judgment.
3. It is limited to quantitative description. 3. It leads to qualitative description and
value judgment.
4 It is objective and impersonal. 4. It involves subjective judgments.
5. It simply determines the magnitude of
variant.
5. It not only determines the magnitude,
but adds meaning to such
measurements.
6. It provides data for evaluation. 6. It is philosophical in nature.

10. Types of Evaluation
 Program Evaluation
 Student Evaluation
 Difference between Formative and Summative Evaluation

11. Program Evaluation
 Program evaluation is a systematic method for:
 collecting
 analyzing
 and using information to answer questions about projects,
policies and programs, particularly about their effectiveness
and efficiency.

12. Student Evaluation
 Student evaluation is an assessment by learners of the
service provided by the institution, be it solely of the
classroom experience or of all aspects of the learning
experience.
 As part of an assessment, teachers provide students with
descriptive feedback that guides their efforts towards
improvement.

13. Difference between Formative and
Summative Evaluation
Formative Evaluation Summative Evaluation
Formative evaluation is typically
conducted during the development or
improvement of a program or course.
Summative evaluation involves making
judgments about the efficacy of a
program or course at its conclusion.
Formative evaluation is developmental in
nature.
Summative evaluation is terminal in
nature. Its purpose is to evaluate
student’s achievement.
Generally teacher made tests are used
for this purpose.
The tests items are prepared from the
whole content area.
It helps to know to what extent the
instructional objectives has been
achieved.
Generally standardized tests are used
for the purpose.
It provides feed-back to the teacher to
modify the methods and to prescribe
remedial works.
It is not regular and continuous process.

14. Need and Role of Evaluation
 Evaluation helps us to know whether the instructional
objectives have been achieved or not.
 As such evaluation helps planning of better strategies for
education.
 A sound program of evaluation clarifies the aims of
education and it helps us to know whether aims and
objectives are attainable or not.

15. Need for Evaluation in Education
1. (a) It helps a teacher to know his pupils in details. Today, education is
child-centered. So, child’s abilities, interest, aptitude, attitude etc., are to

(c) It helps him in setting, refining and clarifying the objectives.
(d) It helps him to know the entry behaviour of the students.
2. It helps an administrator.
(a) In educational planning and
(b) In educational decisions on selections, classification and placement.
3. Education is a complex process. Thus, there is a great need of
continuous evaluation of its processes and products. It helps to design
better educational programs.
