Q no.1: Define measurement, assessment and evaluation. Differentiate these
with examples.

Ans. Certainly! Measurement, assessment, and evaluation are all terms used in the
realm of education and psychology, but they have distinct meanings and purposes.

1. Measurement: Measurement refers to the process of assigning numbers or scores


to quantify characteristics, traits, or attributes. It involves the use of instruments or
tools to gather data about a particular phenomenon. Measurements provide
numerical information about the quantity or quality of something. For example,
measuring the height of students in a classroom using a ruler provides numerical
data (in inches or centimeters) that represent their heights.
2. Assessment: Assessment involves gathering information about an individual's
knowledge, skills, abilities, or traits for the purpose of making decisions. It is a
broader concept that encompasses various methods, tools, and techniques used to
collect data about a person's performance or understanding. Assessment can be
formative, providing feedback for improvement, or summative, evaluating overall
achievement. For example, administering a midterm exam to students to gauge their
understanding of course material is a form of assessment.
3. Evaluation: Evaluation involves making judgments or interpretations based on
collected information or data. It focuses on determining the value, worth, or
effectiveness of something according to established criteria or standards. Evaluation
often involves comparing actual performance or outcomes with predetermined goals
or benchmarks. For example, evaluating a training program's effectiveness by
comparing participants' performance before and after the program to assess if
learning objectives were met.

In summary, measurement is the process of assigning numerical values,


assessment involves collecting data to make decisions about individuals' knowledge
or performance, and evaluation involves making judgments about the value or
effectiveness of something based on collected data and predetermined criteria.
