What is it? Although <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">teaching<\/span>, learning, and assessment have been there since forever, people still have dozens of misconceptions regarding them. There are just too many terms with the same meaning, or that&#8217;s what some might think!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Assessment, evaluation, measurement, and testing are all the same, they say. They measure the same thing, give the same results, and all are time consuming, they cry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But what are the chances that we\u2019ve just been a little too harsh on them? even though these comments are not true, at all, they are widespread and they&#8217;re all no more than a misconception we&#8217;d like to put to rest now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We&#8217;ve dedicated a big part of our last blog post to explaining the difference between <span style=\"color: #000000;\">online exams<\/span> and offline exams, the common points between them, and how we get the results from both of them using advanced technology without the hassle of re-calculating things yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, we&#8217;ve been hit by a few questions: are online and offline exams considered assessments, measurements, or pure evaluation?

However, assessment vs evaluation vs measurement vs test all have different meanings and uses. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Many researchers provide evidence that assessment includes measurement, testing, and evaluation as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0In her book Assessment for Learning, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Rita Berry<\/span>, an associate professor and deputy head of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the Hong Kong Institute of Education, gives an example of this interchangeable relation, saying that a teacher wants to check whether students in her class can hear well or not. So, she does the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">decides to test their hearing, using a \u201cprocedure that measures their hearing acuity.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">assesses their need for hearing aid devices, relying on the results of the test<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">evaluates the effectiveness of the actions taken, by assessing the \u201cdegree to which students now are able to hear and understand instruction,&#8221; and checking whether the hearing aids were good for the students.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Although closely connected, measurement, assessment, and evaluation have different meanings and definitions. We&#8217;ve summarized, in this article, a brief about each of them in order for you to clarify the difference to anyone who may ask, since most of the teachers get blank stares whenever they mention all 3 words in the same sentence! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">f you&#8217;d like some more practical explanation of how we can go about applying the relationship among measurement, assessment, and evaluation, check <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7K1-xSV1rF90GJ6PBOnFVQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Qorrect&#8217;s Youtube channel<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<span class='mb-center maxbutton-1-center'><span class='maxbutton-1-container mb-container'><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3gSugup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class='mb-text'>Join Qorrect Now!<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Definition_of_Measurement_Assessment_and_Evaluation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>2.

It still has the same use; measurement means identifying the characteristics, skills, or knowledge of something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Educators use measurements when they use actual, real things: commonly used measurement tools, like rulers or even a thermometer. And these tools have set criteria in order for the teacher to reach valid, reliable, and consistent results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">That means that when we do the process of measurement we usually use something common to measure with. And that\u2019s quite different from the word \u2018assess.\u2019 In measuring the state of something we are simply collecting numerical data in comparison to a set of standards using common tools. The image clarifies this more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s very important here to assert that measurement is always numerical. As measurement in education refers to units, symbols, percentages, ranks, or raw scores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/measure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cambridge dictionary<\/a><\/span>, the verb measure means \u201cto discover the exact size, amount, etc., of something, or to be of a particular size.\u201d For example,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;Will the table fit in here?&#8221; &#8220;I don\u2019t know \u2013 I\u2019ll measure it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Or<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe sofa measures (= is of the size of) 3 feet by 7 feet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So that means that measurement is how we rate and determine the performance of a student, numerically, compared to evaluation, for example, which is how we describe how good the performance of a student is, but qualitatively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Measurement_in_Education\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Types of Measurement in Education<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Generally we refer to measurement in education as the quantitative assessment of students through a given test: online, offline, or paper. But measurement is not limited only to assessing students. If applied correctly, we should be able to measure all factors of the educational process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Edward Thorndike, an American psychologist whose work focused on comparative psychology and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">learning process, the \u201cfounder of modern educational psychology,\u201d and the developer of the law of effect principle, commented on this concept.

And consequently, this is reflected in education: there\u2019s nothing we cannot measure ever, especially in the field of education. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Today, measurement in education is much different and more advanced.

An assessment is not a test; however, a test is an assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In recent years, assessments have evolved, especially after the emergence of e-testing technologies like Qorrect which not just lets you offer <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">proctored exams<\/span> but also makes grading them and exporting diverse reports a piece of cake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Various educational institutions, including universities and schools, as well as corporates offering training to their employees, have now turned to <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">online exams software<\/span> to manage assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0And all international and local institutions that have implemented this technology have reaped what they sowed, especially in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Benefits of E-Assessment Exams\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The exam creation process that used to take long hours can now end in minutes and automatically<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Administering exams can be done online or offline or paper-based.

That happens without delving deeper into the educational process itself. The aim of assessment of learning is to measure no more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Summative assessments are one of the most popular types of tests in the world and many schools and universities in the world even prepare for them from the very first day of school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Assessment for learning is about the educational process of students and its aim is to help them acquire knowledge and discover their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, as they have a positive impact on their educational future. This occurs in the form of assessments, more specifically formative assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Quality-Management-Implementation-Higher-Education\/dp\/1522598294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stigens<\/a> <\/span>(in 2008) and Stigins, Arter, Chapius, and Chapius (in 2006) told us that assessment for learning in English classes, for example, includes providing goals that students can achieve before making the assessment, sending the results of this assessment by writing descriptive notes that help the student (communicating with him\/her), as well as linking teaching to the information that comes out of the assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So assessment for learning is what happens during the learning process and not at the end or after it. This is for the purpose of making educational decisions on modifying the teaching method according to the student&#8217;s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, we get to the assessment as learning type. This is where students are given the opportunity to assess themselves and even their colleagues during class. This really helps students understand their own learning, their points of strength and weakness in order to work on them (self-assessment).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluation_Is_Qualitative\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Evaluation Is Qualitative<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Evaluation is when you start to interpret and judge the results of the data you&#8217;ve collected throughout the assessment process or elsewhere.

Nelson Howard, in \u201c<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Testing More, Teaching Less: What America\u2019s Obsession with Student Testing Costs in Money and Lost Instructional Time<\/span>,\u201d by the American Federation of Teachers, says<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Testing has spiraled out of control, and the related costs are unacceptably high and are taking their educational toll on students, teachers, principals and schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Nelson also explains that if we were to abandon measurement, assessment, and evaluation completely, we&#8217;d be adding from 20 to 40 minutes of education to every school for most grades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This negative view of the assessment process as a whole essentially arises because Assessment is not employed correctly!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Employ_Assessment_the_Right_Way\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">How to Employ Assessment the Right Way<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Anthony Albano, Associate Professor Ph.D., Educational Psychology, University Of Minnesota BS, Psychology, Brigham Young University, comments on this, illustrating the problem in 2 points, in his research \u201c<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/326927381_Introduction_to_Educational_and_Psychological_Measurement_Using_R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Introduction to Educational and Psychological Measurement Using R<\/a><\/span>,\u201d 2018:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Some educational institutions heavily rely on making too many tests, which if not done right take too much energy from the administration and teachers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">They depend on tests that are irrelevant to what students already learned in class. This is a huge issue. The effort towards the assessment process sometimes isn&#8217;t directed right. By default, this means that the outcomes or results of the assessments performed are not accurate, since the actual objective of doing many of these assessments is to assess the performance of students compared to what they have learned.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Still, the importance of measurement and evaluation in education is evident in the way an educational institution performs. Measurement and evaluation mean a great deal of difference between a successful institution and another that needs more improvement. They are critical in providing information for top decision makers to enhance learning, teaching methods, curriculum, and student performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Going back in history, we can see evidence of measurement, assessment, and therefore evaluation done, although very basic. The earliest records of examination in education appear in the form of oral testing, an informal way assessment done back in the 5th century BC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So many theories and educational practices have changed that. And with the amazing advancements made in edtech now, things aren&#8217;t the same anymore. Digitizing every part of the assessment process, based on modern educational theories, is now very easy. <strong>If you&#8217;d like to see how, reserve a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/qorrectassess.com\/en\/assessment-system-free-trial?utm_source=qorrengblog&amp;utm_medium=engevaluationvsassessmentvsmeasurement\">FREE<\/a> Demo<\/span> for Qorrect assessment system right now!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<span class='mb-center maxbutton-1-center'><span class='maxbutton-1-container mb-container'><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Js6sdo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class='mb-text'>Request FREE Online Assessments System Demo<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The relationship among measurement, assessment, and evaluation..
