Assessment noun, assess verb: To discover, judge, or form an opinion on learners’ ability,
achievement, proficiency or progress either formally or informally.

Continuous assessment: A type of assessment which does not involve a final examination. Some
or all of the work that learners do during a course is marked by the teacher on a regular basis
and these marks go into the calculation of the final grade given to learners.

Continuous assessment may include regularly assessing learners’ written work; assessing their
listening, reading and speaking skills; talking to learners; observing them in class; looking at self-
assessments and thinking about learners’ classroom performance.

Diagnostic assessment: A type of assessment aimed at finding out – diagnosing – what language
and skills weaknesses or strengths learners have. Teachers use this information to inform their
future lesson planning. See teacher roles.

Evaluation is a broader term than ‘test’. It includes all types and examinations in it. Its purpose is
not only to check the knowledge of the learner. But all the aspects of the learner.

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.

A test refers to a tool, technique or a method that is intended to measure students’ knowledge

or their ability to complete a particular task. In this sense, testing can be considered as a form of
assessment. Tests should meet some basic requirements, such as validity and reliability.

Teaching is a process in which one individual teaches or instruct another individual. Teaching is
considered as the act of imparting instructions to the learners in the classroom situation. It is
watching systematically.

Michel Veronica Castro Buruel

Assessing: One of the jobs we are always asked to do as teaches is to assess


our students. In other words, we are required to say how good or bad they are.
The traditional way to assess has been through using tests. In order to assess
learners and learning, we need some data about the student. If we are interested
in the students' development, we need to assess the student over a period of
time. Four main reasons for assessment are: 1. To compare students with each
other. 2. To see if students meet a particular standard. 3. To help the students´
learning. 4. To check if the teaching programme is doing its job.

Testing: Every time we ask students to answer a question to which we already


UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE BAJA CALIFORNIA
FACULTAD DE IDIOMAS

LICENCIATURA EN ENSEÑANZA DE LENGUAS

know the answer, we are giving them a kind of test. Much of what we do in class
is, in fact, testing students´ knowledge. Testing has, traditionally, measured the
results of students’ performance. Testing has, traditionally, measured the results
of student performance.

We choose some representative samples of language.

We measure whether a student can use these samples.

We then try to quantify this by turning it into a mark or grade.

We keep a record of these marks and use this to give an end assessment.

Over time, all testing theory (whether languages or shampoo development) has
traditionally been based on a semi-scientific procedure, namely: 1 Measure the
performance. 2 Do something to affect the performance. 3 Measure the
performance again and compare the different.

Teaching: Teaching and testing go hand-in-hand. We can think we are teaching


when we are actually testing.

Evaluation: Evaluation is not limited to numbers or just giving students marks.


Instead of trying to count or measure students´ ability to make useful
contributions to the class, we can simply judge whether he/she makes a
contribution or not. In other words, you can be subjective as well as objective.
But when we make judgments, we must realise that other people, including
teachers and students may not agree with what we think. Evaluation means that
sometimes we will have to justify, negotiate, and possibly modify our opinions.
We may need more than one judge- we may even need a jury.

1. Evaluation: Evaluation involves the final product – what educators actually do with all of the
information gathered from any assessment procedures they have employed; essentially, it is an
objective judgment based on all of the evidence that has been assembled. Çelik, S., & Türkan, S.
(2014).

2.Assessment: Assessment refers to an ongoing process of observing, recording information,


testing, scoring and interpreting results, which can be used to make decisions about the progress
of individuals and/or groups of learners. As Angelo and Cross (1993) explain, teachers use
assessment to obtain feedback on “what, how much and how well their students are learning”.
Çelik, S., & Türkan, S. (2014).

3.Testing: A test can be described as a specific evaluation tool that is used to obtain information
about a learner’s achievement with respect to a given skill or procedure; this information can be
UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE BAJA CALIFORNIA
FACULTAD DE IDIOMAS

LICENCIATURA EN ENSEÑANZA DE LENGUAS

objectively evaluated and scored (American Education Research Association, 1999). Çelik, S., &
Türkan, S. (2014).

4.Teaching: Teaching is a set of events, outside the learners which are designed to support the
internal process of learning. Sequeira, A.H.. (2012).

Evaluation refers to the systematic gathering of information for the purpose of making decisions. It
is not concerned with the assessment of the performance of an individual, but rather with forming
an idea of the curriculum and making a judgment about it. This judgment is made based on some
kind of criteria and evidence. The purpose is to make decisions about the worth of instruction, a
course, or even the whole curriculum. Evaluation is thus larger and may include an analysis of all
the aspects of the educational system. Mohammed, R.(2019)

Assessment is thus the process of collecting information about students from diverse sources so
that educators can form an idea of what they know and can do with this knowledge. While evaluation

FACULTAD DE IDIOMAS

LICENCIATURA EN ENSEÑANZA DE LENGUAS

is concerned with making judgments about instruction, a curriculum, or an educational system,


assessment is concerned with the students’ performance. In other words, one assesses an
individual but evaluates a program, a curriculum, an educational system, etc.Mohammed, R.(2019)

Testing. Simply put, a test refers to a tool, technique or a method that is intended to measure
students knowledge or their ability to complete a particular task. In this sense, testing can be
considered as a form of assessment. Tests should meet some basic requirements, such as validity
and reliability. Validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to measure.
Reliability refers to the consistency of test scores when administered on different occasions.

There are different types of tests:

Placement tests: It is designed to help educators place a student into a particular level or section of
a language curriculum or school Diagnostic tests: they help teachers and learners to identify
strengths and weaknesses.Proficiency tests: they measure a learner’s level of language.
Achievement tests: they are intended to measure the skills and knowledge learned after so Teme
kind of instruction.Mohammed, R.(2019)

Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs, experiences and feelings, and intervening
so that they learn particular things, and go beyond the given. Interventions commonly take the form
of questioning, listening, giving information, explaining some phenomenon, demonstrating a skill or
process, testing understanding and capacity, and facilitating learning activities (such as note taking,
discussion, assignment writing, simulations and practice). Smith, M.k. (2018)

Evaluation: is the process of making judgments based on criteria and evidence.

Testing: is the process of documenting knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs, usually in
measurable terms. The goal of assessment is to make improvements, as opposed to simply being
judged. In an educational context, assessment is the process of describing, collecting, recording,
scoring, and interpreting information about learning.

Assessment: Assessing student learning is something that every teacher has to do, usually quite
frequently. Written tests, book reports, research papers, homework exercises, oral presentations,
question-and-answer sessions, science projects, and artwork of various sorts are just some of the
ways in which teachers measure student learning, with written tests accounting for about 45 percent
of a typical student's course grade (Green & Stager, 1986/1987). It is no surprise, then, that the
typical teacher can spend between one-third and one-half of her class time engaged in one or
another type of measurement activity (Stiggins, 1994). Yet despite the amount of time teachers
spend assessing student learning, it is a task that most of them dislike and that few do well. One
reason is that many teachers have little or no in-depth knowledge of assessment principles (Crooks,
1988; Hills, 1991; Stiggins, Griswold, & Wikelund, 1989). Another reason is that the role of
assessor is seen as being inconsistent with the role of teacher (or helper). Since teachers with more
training in assessment use more appropriate assessment practices than do teachers with less training
(Green & Stager, 1986/1987), a basic goal of this chapter is to help you understand how such
knowledge can be used to reinforce, rather than work against, your role as teacher. Toward that
end, we will begin by defining what we mean by the term assessment and by two key elements of
this process, measurement and evaluation.

Teaching: Teaching is to cause the student to learn and acquire the desired knowledge, skills and
also desirable ways of living in the society. It is a process in which learner, teacher, curriculum and
other variables are organised in a systematic and psychological way to attain some predetermined
goals.

Teaching:

Teaching is a process in which one individual teaches or instruct another


individual. Teaching is considered as the act of imparting instructions to the
learners in the classroom situation. It is watching systematically. Dewey:-
considers it as a manipulation of the situation, where the learner will acquire skills
and insight with his own initiation. The main function of teaching is to make
learning effective. The learning process would get completed as a result of
teaching. (Physicscatalyst, 2018)

Testing:

Simply put, a test refers to a tool, technique or a method that is intended to


measure students knowledge or their ability to complete a particular task. In this
sense, testing can be considered as a form of assessment. Tests should meet
some basic requirements, such as validity and reliability.

· Validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed


to measure.

· Reliability refers to the consistency of test scores when administered on


different occasions. (RHALMI, 2018)

Assessment:

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 is thus the process of collecting information about students from


diverse sources so that educators can form an idea of what they know and can
do with this knowledge. While evaluation is concerned with making judgments
about instruction, a curriculum, or an educational system, assessment is
concerned with the students’ performance. In other words, one assesses an
individual but evaluates a program, a curriculum, an educational system, etc.
(RHALMI, 2018)

Evaluation:

In the educational context, the verb ‘to evaluate’ often collocates with terms such
as:

the effectiveness of an educational system, a program, a course, instruction, a


curriculum.

According to Weiss (1972), evaluation refers to the systematic gathering of


information for the purpose of making decisions. It is not concerned with the
assessment of the performance of an individual, but rather with forming an idea
of the curriculum and making a judgment about it. This judgment is made based
on some kind of criteria and evidence. The purpose is to make decisions about
the worth of instruction, a course, or even the whole curriculum. Evaluation is
thus larger and may include an analysis of all the aspects of the educational
system. (RHALMI, 2018)

Evaluation is a one moment time; measurement of outcomes to goals. The


purpose of evaluation is to judge quality. It is the process of making judgments
based on criteria and evidence determining its value. Number or words can be
used students are often motivated by the value. Summative because we focus on
the final judge quality.

Testing is only part of the process of evaluation according to Rea Dickens 1993. It is used
to examine someone’s knowledge of something to determine what the person or student
knows or has learned. Testing measures the level of skill or knowledge that has been
reached. It can be quiz or exam we can only draw a conclusion from testing with numbers.

Assessment is a systematic collection (there’s a structure); on going process; collect data

Teaching is to instruct someone… is not a matter of getting him to commit results to mind.
Rather, it is to teach him to participate in the process that makes possible the establishment
of knowledge. We teach a subject not to produce little living libraries on that subject, but
rather to get a student to think mathematically for himself, to consider matters as an
historian does, to take part in the process of knowledge-getting. Knowing is a process not
a product.

Evaluation: Plays an enormous role in the teaching-learning process. It helps teachers and learners
to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is a continuous process and a periodic exercise. It
helps in forming the values of judgment, educational status, or achievement of student. Evaluation
in one form or the other is inevitable in teaching-learning, as in all fields of activity of education
judgments need to be made.

Testing: Bachman (1990) defines a test as “ameasurement instrument designed to elicit a specific
sample of an individual’sbehavior….a test necessarily quantifies characteristics of individuals
according toexplicit procedures”

Assessment: Is the systematic collection, review, and use of information about educational
programs undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning and development.

Teaching: Is one of the instruments of education and is a special function is to impart


understanding and skill. The main function of teaching is to make learning effective. The learning
process would get completed as a result of teaching. So, teaching and learning are very closely
related.

Evaluation: Procedures used to determine whether the subject (i.e. student)

FACULTAD DE IDIOMAS

meets a preset criteria, such as qualifying for special education services. This
uses assessment (remember that an assessment may be a test) to make a

Testing: A method to determine a students ability to complete certain tasks or


demonstrate mastery of a skill or knowledge of content. Some types would be
multiple choice tests, or a weekly spelling test. While it is commonly used
interchangeably with assessment, or even evaluation, it can be distinguished by
the fact that a test is one form of an assessment. Overton, T. (2013)

Teaching: Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs, experiences


and feelings, and intervening so that they learn particular things, and go beyond
the given. In much modern usage, the words ‘teaching’ and ‘teacher’ are
wrapped up with schooling and schools. One way of approaching the question
‘What is teaching?’ is to look at what those called ‘teachers’ do – and then to
draw out key qualities or activities that set them apart from others. The problem
is that all sorts of things are bundled together in job descriptions or roles that may
have little to do with what we can sensibly call teaching. Hagenes, C. (2018)
