    Assessment and Evaluation

    Sometimes there is confusion about the difference between assessment and evaluation. Some people use the words interchangeably. In this guide we distinguish the two terms by emphasizing that assessment is the process of collecting information for decision-making whereas evaluation involves making a judgment about the quality of a learner’s performance based on assessment results.

    The examples below illustrate this useful distinction.

    Example 1:
    Assessment: During a Grade 1 lesson, in which a teacher is teaching the learners to identify square shapes, the teacher gathers information on whether learners can identify square shapes. Suppose the learners cannot identify the square shapes from among a randomly presented set of triangles, rectangles, circles, and squares.

    Evaluation: The teacher judges that the ability of learners to identify square shapes is not good. The teacher decides that re-teaching is necessary. So he/she groups the learners and they practice drawing big and little squares, circles, and triangles.

    Example 2:
    Assessment: During a Grade 1 lesson, in which a teacher is teaching the learners to identify circles, the teacher gathers information that establishes that the learners can identify circles.

    Evaluation: The teacher judges that the ability of learners to identify circles is very good. The teacher decides to go on to teach the next lesson.
