- In other words Educational Measurement is the science and
practice of obtaining information about characteristics of students,
such as their knowledge, skills, abilities, and interests.
- Quantitative data is data expressing a certain quantity,
amount or range. Usually, there are measurement units associated with the data
- Qualitative data is the descriptive and conceptual findings collected through
questionnaires, interviews, or observation.
.................
- A ruler is a foot long and usually has inch and centimeter marks.
- A meter stick is a meter long and usually has foot, inches,
and centimeter marks.
- Scales (depending on what type they are) use pounds, kilograms, ounces,
or the like.
- Measuring cups are normally marked in cups and ounces.
- All measuring instruments are subject to varying degrees of instrument error
and measurement uncertainty. These instruments may range from simple objects
such as rulers and stopwatches to electron microscopes.

- Weight
The amount of matter a thing consists of is called its weight.
Measuring weight means to measure the heaviness of a thing.
Weight can be measured in grams, kilograms, and pounds.
- Length
The amount of something that is measured from one end to the other along
the longest side is called its length.
Length is measured in centimeters, meters, kilometers, feet, and miles
..................
- Objective measurement is something that is measured consistently.
For example, measuring how well someone can perform a set number of tasks in
a controlled environment. There are no other factors that can alter the data
gathered with this measurement.
- It could also include how many steps you
take each day, or timing how fast someone can put a puzzle together.
Objective data is not influenced by opinion or perspectives of others.
......................
- Subjective measurement is how scientists measure what people say.
This can include using a survey to answer open ended questions, ranking an
experience based on feelings, and more. Subjective data is important but can
be challenging to comprehend without full context of an experience.
- subjective performance measures are dependent on the observer and based on
opinions, feelings, and general impressions. Subjective measures rely more
on the observer than independent measures. Sports such as dance and
gymnastics are more subjective than objective in their measures.

- In education, the term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods
or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure, and document the academic
readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of
students.
- �Assessment involves the use of experimental data on student�s learning
to refine programs and improve students� learning.� � Allen
.............
- The purpose of assessment is to gather relevant information about student
performance or progress, or to determine student interests to make judgments
about their learning process. After receiving this information, teachers can
reflect on each student�s level of achievement, as well as on specific
inclinations of the group, to customize their teaching plans.
Continuous assessment provides day-to-day feedback about the learning and
teaching process. Assessment can reinforce the efficacy of teaching and
learning. It also encourages the understanding of teaching as a formative
process that evolves over time with feedback and input from students.
This creates good classroom rapport.

- There are 2 ....
- Formative assessment also refers to a wide variety of methods that
use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning
needs, and academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course. Formative
assessments help teachers identify concepts that students are struggling to
understand, skills they are having difficulty acquiring, or learning
standards they have not yet achieved so that adjustments can be made to
lessons, instructional techniques, and academic support.
- Examples of formative assessments include asking students to:
= draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic.
= submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture.
= turn in a research proposal for early feedback.
................
- The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the
end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or
benchmark. Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that
they have a high point value.
- Summative assessment examples:
= End-of-term or midterm exams.
= Cumulative work over an extended period such as a final project or
creative portfolio.
= End-of-unit or chapter tests.
- In short Summative assessment, summative evaluation, or assessment of
learning is the assessment of participants where the focus is on the outcome
of a program. This contrasts with formative assessment, which summarizes the
participants' development at a particular time.
.................
It is a very useful and powerful tool to detects and administer.
This help in keeping a check on the performance of students.
It is a difficult and challenging task for teachers and students.
But it is an effective tool to facilitate learning.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
