Educational Measurement and Evaluation
Estate and Security
Introduction
As much as we might want to embrace the "everyone's a winner" mentality, evaluation is a crucial component of education. Without evaluation and measurement, it is impossible to know a student's needs and preferences. Evaluation is also used by colleges to determine which students can be admitted. While the specific purposes of measurement and evaluation can vary, there is one underlying theme: measurement and evaluation are required to determine whether students are learning.
Educational measurement refers to the use of educational assessments and the analysis of data such as scores obtained from educational assessments to infer the abilities and proficiencies of students. The approaches overlap with those in psychometrics.
The most basic purpose of educational evaluation is to determine what a student's needs are. With proper testing and evaluation in the early grades, learning disabilities and handicaps can be identified and dealt with. Without testing, problems can go unrecognized for years. While educational testing cannot in itself be the basis for a diagnosis, it can point students in a direction that may ultimately lead to psychologist, who can diagnose conditions.
Student Aptitudes
In the 21st century, there is much emphasis on specialization in education. In today's complex, knowledge-based economy, students must have specialized skills before they can have a successful career. The streaming of students into educational programs begins with standardized testing, which identifies student aptitudes and abilities. While standardized tests are somewhat controversial due to their potential for misuse, there is no denying that they can be effective in identifying intellectual gifts and helping students know the areas in which their talents can be useful.
Student Progress
Education is effective when students improve over time.
