Assessment and Evaluation
Assessment and Evaluation in the context of Education refers to the systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data or information about student learning outcomes and instructional effectiveness. It is used to monitor progress, inform decision making, improve teaching and learning, and ensure accountability. In Adult Education, it helps identify learners' needs, strengths, and areas for improvement, while in Secondary Education, it aids in tracking students' academic growth and providing feedback for college and career readiness. The process involves various strategies such as formative assessments, summative assessments, standardized tests, rubrics, self-assessments, and peer evaluations.
