    Assesment Vs Evaluation

    Uploaded by

    Assessment focuses on systematically documenting student knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs through empirical data collection with the goal of improving learning, while evaluation provides an overall judgment of student work based on grades and other classroom factors against standards. Key differences are that assessment is an ongoing process aimed at improving quality through feedback, while evaluation occurs at the end and judges the overall quality and identifies shortfalls compared to standards. Both require criteria and evidence but assessment is not graded and aims to improve learning through individualization, whereas evaluation is graded and product-oriented.

    Assessment vs Evaluation: what's the

    difference?
    Assessment and evaluation are not the same. But what are the differences between
    assessment and evaluation in education. This article will give you description of both of
    these terms and will eventually tell you the differences between them. 

    What is an assessment?
    What's the definition of assessment in education? Assessment is the systematic
    process of documenting and using empirical data on the knowledge, skills, attitudes
    and beliefs. By taking the assessment, teachers try to improve student learning. This
    is a short definition of assessment. If you want to read more about assessment, click

    What is evaluation?
    What's the definition of evaluation in education? Evaluation focuses on grades and
    may reflect classroom components other than course content and mastery level.
    Evaluation is a final review on your instruction to gauge the quality. It’s product-
    oriented. This means that the main question is: “What’s been learned?”. Finally,
    evaluation is judgmental.

    Example:

    You’re gifted a flower.

    Evaluation: “The flower is purple and is too short with not enough leaves.”

    Evaluation is judgmental

    Assessment: “I’ll give the flower some water to improve its growth.”

    Assessment increases the quality

    Besides the differences, there are also some similarities between assessment and
    evaluation. The both require criteria, use measures and are evidence-driven.
