1) We Give the definition of :

 Measurement simply means determining the attributes or dimensions of an object, skill

or knowledge. We use common objects in the physical world to measure, such as tape
measures, scales and meters. These measurement tools are held to standards and can be
used to obtain reliable results. When used properly, they accurately gather data for
educators and administrators.
 Assessment: One of the primary measurement tools in education is the assessment.
Teachers gather information by giving tests, conducting interviews and monitoring
behavior. The assessment should be carefully prepared and administered to ensure its
reliability and validity. In other words, an assessment must provide consistent results
and it must measure what it claims to measure.
 Evaluation is the process of using the measurements gathered in the assessments.
Teachers use this information to judge the relationship between what was intended by
the instruction and what was learned. They evaluate the information gathered to
determine what students know and understand, how far they have progressed and how
fast, and how their scores and progress compare to those of other students.

2) Give the difference between assessment and evaluation :

1) We Give the definition of :

Evaluation the process of judging or calculating the quality, importance, amount, or value of something

Assessment is a process of gathering information that reflect how well a student, classroom, school, or
school system is doing against a set of purposes learning criteria, or curricula.

Measurement is a specific process through which a learning experience, phenomena, or context is

translated into a representative set of numerical variables.

2) Give the difference between assessment and evaluation :

Assessment is defined as a process of appraising something or someone, i.e. the act of gauging
the quality, value or importance. As against, evaluation focuses on making a judgment about
values, numbers or performance of someone or something. Assessment is made to identify
the level of performance of an individual, whereas evaluation is performed to determine the
degree to which goals are attained.
