THE EVOLVING VIEWS IN THE USE
OF THE EDUCATIONAL
ASSESSMENT ARE MOST
PROBABLY THE RESULT OF THE
RISING DEMAND OF AN
OUTCOMES-BASED EVALUATION.
Test
Measurement
- something (such as a series of
- the act or process of measuring
questions or exercise) for measuring
something
the skill, knowledge, intelligence,
capacities or aptitudes of an
individual or group

Evaluation
Assessment
- to judge the value or condiion of
- the action or an instance of (someone or something) in a careful
making a judgement about and thoughtful way
something
 is a set of questions with an accepted set of

Test presumably correct answers, designed to gather

information about some individual
characteristics, like scholastic achievement.
(Posner, 1995)
Test is a device used to indirectly measure the
intangible aspects of students’ life and to gather
information about student’s learning progress.
We are concerned that test users often
uncritically accept test scores. These concerns
us, for three reasons. (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2000)
Test are only tools, and tools can be
appropriately used unintentionally misused,
and intentionally abused.
Test, like other tools can be well-designed or
poorly designed.
Both poorly designed and well-designed tools
in the hands of ill-trained users can be
dangerous.
 Non-tests are devices that do not force
students to give their responses.
These are usually based on teacher’s
direct observation as students perform
the assigned tasks.

Nontest If non-test are use to supplement the

information gathered through the use
of tests, then the teacher can have a
comprehensive view about the quality
of students’ learning progress.
The most important focus of
classroom assessment activities are
students’ learning experiences.
 - is a process of administering a test
to an individual or a group or

Testing students.
This process involves steps such as:
Test preparation
Test administration
Collection of test paper
 is a process of quantifying test result.

Measurement This process begins when the teacher compares

students’ responses with the presumably correct
responses in the scoring key.
The quantity obtained in measurement is further
analyzed to determine whether an individual’s
performance meets the preset criteria (criterion-
referenced) or how the individuals performance
compared with the performance of other members
of the class (norm-referenced).
 is being used, on the one hand, for educational

Assessment improvement, increased school effectiveness and

curriculum reforms; and on the other, for political
control of teachers, students and curricula,
centralized policy making, narrow accountability,
credentialism, educational selection, and the
determination of life chances in competitive
markets. (Okano, cited in Cohen, 1997)
TRADITIONAL ASSESSMENT
refers to standardized testing that uses questions with a limited number of
answer choices. It includes multiple choice, true or false and some short
answer responses.

ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT
is any classroom assessment practice that focuses on continuous individual
student progress. Perhaps the best way to define alternative assessment is to say
that it's the counter to traditional forms of standardized assessment.

AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT
it determines what students can actually do in real-life situations rather than
using some easy-to-score responses to questions.Life’s learning experiences are
bound to assessment; therefore, it is of the essence to make learning and
assessment real, meaningful, and motivational.
Evaluation
is a process of determining the
changes in the child as a result
of teaching and his experiences.
(Lardizabal, 2002)
It is a systematic attempt at
ascertaining the amount of progress
made in the child’s education directed
toward the realization of objectives in
education.
Evaluation is a process of attaching
quality or value judgment to the
quantity obtained through the process
of assessment.
Evaluation that is based on result of
assessment is more comprehensive that
evaluation based on measurement.
