1.2. Evaluation

Evaluation is the process of making judgments or value decisions about the quality, effectiveness, or worth of a learner’s performance, an instructional program, or an educational system, often based on the information gathered through measurement and assessment. It answers the question “How good is it?” or “What does it mean?” Example: After assessing students in a history course through tests, projects, and participation, the teacher concludes that a student has mastered the subject at an “excellent” level (grading A), while another is “below average” (grading D). Here, judgment is made about the quality of learning, that is evaluation.
