2. Measurement
• Measurement refer to a set of procedures and the principles for how
to use the procedures in educational tests and assessments.
• Educational measurement is that process by which the usefulness of
various factors of educational process, various activities of persons
concerned, and the intelligence, interest, attitude, personality and
educational achievements of the students are measured on the basis
of definite standards and are expressed in definite words, symbols or
units

3. Cont…
• Some of the basic principles of measurement in educational
evaluations would be raw scores, percentile, ranks, derived scores,
standard scores, etc.
• The teacher has been testing students since times immemorial in
order to know their progress in studies, and to see what type of
behavioral changes have occurred in students, if they are optimal and
what direction these behavioral changes have taken.

4. Types of Measurement
1. Qualitative Measurement:
Perceiving the characteristics of an object, person or activity in
the form of a quality is called qualitative measurement; for example,
describing a student as very intelligent or dull is qualitative
measurement.
2. Quantitative Measurement:
Measuring the characteristics of an object, person or activity in
the form of quantity is called quantitative measurement; for example,
to measure the I.Q of a student as 140, 120 or 110 is quantitative
measurement.

6. The needs of measurement
• To Measure the ability of students
• To measure their intelligence and personality
• To find out the effectiveness of teaching.
• For measure and evaluate the educational achievements of students
from time to time and to provide them feedback.

7. Evaluation
• Evaluation is the process of observing and measuring a thing for the
purpose of judging it and of determining its “valve,” either by
comparison to similar things, or to a standard.
• Generally, any evaluation process requires information about the
situation in question. A situation is an umbrella term that takes into
account such ideas as objectives, goals, standards, procedures, and so
on

9. Types of Evaluation
Formative Evaluation:
• Formative evaluation is such evaluation which is conducted before
giving final Shape to an educational policy or program, curriculum,
teaching method, teaching aid or evaluation method.
• For it, the evaluator first of all prepares the preliminary draft of the
proposed educational policy, planning or program, curriculum,
teaching method or evaluation method; then he analyses each of its
steps and receives approval of the specialists. This approval is
received with the help of interview, questionnaire or rating scale.

10. Summative Evaluation:
• Summative evaluation is conducted in order to test the utility of an already
existing educational policy, planning or program, curriculum, teaching
method, teaching aid or evaluation method.
• For it, the evaluator constructs the most suitable measurement tool or
method based on interview, questionnaire or rating scale, for evaluation of
the educational policy, planning or program, curriculum, teaching method,
teaching aid or evaluation method.
• After this, he tests its utility on the basis of related standards (Norms) and
statistical calculations. Finally, he decides whether such educational policy,
planning or program, curriculum, teaching method, teaching aid or
evaluation method should continue or not, and if it is to continue, what
should be its form.

11. The Need of the Evaluation
• To find out the educational importance and suggest the
improvement.
• For analyses the educational objectives, utility, and timely change.
• For find out the effect of the curriculum at different levels in the
achievement of educational objectives.
• For study the effect of teaching methods being used from time to
time, to find out useful/ useless methods.
• For find out the utility of textbooks in the achievement of educational
objectives.

12. Examination
• An examination is an assessment intended to measure a test-
taker's knowledge, and skill. In practice, a test may be administered
orally, on paper, or physically perform a set of skills.
• The basic component of a test is an item, which is sometimes
colloquially referred to as a "question.“
• A test may vary in rigor and requirement. For example, in a closed
book test, a test taker is often required to rely upon memory to
respond to specific items whereas in an open book test, a test taker
may use one or more supplementary tools such as a reference book
or calculator when responding to an item.

13. Cont…
• A test may be administered formally or informally.
• An example of an informal test would be a reading test administered
by a parent to a child.
• An example of a formal test would be a final examination
administered by a teacher in a classroom or an I.Q. test administered
by a psychologist in a clinic.
• Formal testing often results in a grade or a test score.
• Standardized tests are often used in education, professional
certification, counseling, psychology the military, and many other
fields.
