Assessment vs Evaluation n What are the most

Assessment vs. Evaluation n What are the most striking differences between the two?

Dimensions of Difference Between Assessment and Evaluation n n n Timing Focus of Measurement Relationship Between Administrator & Recipient Findings, Uses Thereof Ongoing Modifiability of Criteria, Measures Thereof Standards of Measurement Relation Between Different Objects of A/E

Assessment n Evaluation (various sources, but especially Dan Apple 1998) Formative: Ongoing to Improve Learning Timing

Assessment n Evaluation (various sources, but especially Dan Apple 1998) Formative: Ongoing Summative: Final to to Improve Learning Gauge Quality Focus of Measurement

Assessment n Evaluation (various sources, but especially Dan Apple 1998) Formative: Ongoing Summative: Final to to Improve Learning Gauge Quality Process-Oriented: Focus of Measurement How Learning Is Going
