Assessment, evaluation and measurement are vital concepts in education which are used interchangeably, however, they differ in meaning. Assessment is the process of gathering information about student learning and performance. Assessment provides opportunities for student's better performance and aids as a tool for teachers to know whether or not their methodology is effective. For example: A rubric or rating scale can be used to access the level of knowledge a student can be able to demonstrate. Evaluation is the continuous process of interpreting that information and making judgments about what has been learned. "Evaluation is an act or process that assigns ‘value’ to a measure". Evaluation refers to the assessment of a student's progress towards stated objectives, the efficiency of the teaching and the effectiveness of the curriculum. Evaluation not only deals with the classroom examination system but also evaluating the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domain of students. Evaluation involves qualitative description, quantitative description and value judgement and is used for decision making. For example an end of term report provides both an insight into subject or course grades, provides an overall written or qualitative feedback, navigates the teachers’ comments and a decision Measurement is representing how much of a particular quality a student has demonstrated, qualitatively or quantitatively. The qualitative description (standard words) used as measurement is often unreliable. As such, quantitative description ( symbols and units) are more precise, universal and accurate. For example the scores of a written test or practical can offer accurate results numerically.
