Testing and assessment

Although we may think both concepts are the same it is not true but we must understand that  both are related and depend on each other.

Today   I learned that asssessment usually takes place during the whole semester and that it is part of the  continuos evaluation process which help us to evaluate our  students performance . 

On the other hand we can talk about testing that will consider tests which  provide us information to know what the students have learned.

We do not have to wait until the end of the semester to evaluate because through the semester we can use both techniques.

  1. Great. I hope that some of the principles of assessment that you learned are of value to you!

    I know that it is difficult to assess SO many students, and you can't do it in the way that you'd really like to just because of numbers. But, perhaps this unit will get you thinking about things in a new way.
