How Can Impact Measurement and Evaluation in Teaching?

Abstract

Quality of education is very essential in today's competitive environment in which there is an absolute need to improve the educational processes to adapt to the changing society. Educational measurement requires the establishment of a strong feedback chain, in which evaluation is a continuous process and is not abandoned until the end of the program of study. Measurement refers to the process by which the properties or dimensions of a physical object are determined. When used in the context of learning, it refers to applying a standard scale or measuring instrument to an object, series of objects, events, or situations that are accepted by those who are skilled in the use of tools or scales. On the other hand, evaluation is a complex process. Implicit in the idea of evaluation is 'value'. It includes certain procedures designed to provide information that will help us make decisions about a situation. Generally, any evaluation process requires information about the position under consideration. The way the tests are constructed and understood is critical to the process of evaluation. Various tests are designed to examine different qualities of intelligence and their assessment depends on how well these tests are understood. In other words, the clarity of a test, which includes the types of questions, is an important factor in determining its success and accuracy. In the present writing, an attempt has been made to give more information about measurement and evaluation in less words.
