wherein we evaluate on how well does the teacher teach the core subject.
This is necessary because it helps the institution to decide if they method or
methodology of teacher/instructor are effective in the trainees. Later on
they can adjust and make improvements in the training area.
b. Products Evaluation
- In marketing they use this method for comparing products price and their
effectiveness. As a result they can evaluate the most valuable products and
they can adjust price and focus on that to sell on the markets.

4. Differentiate each of the following: measurement, evaluation, and assessment.

information in context. The basis for decision making (evaluation).

Methods of measuring and evaluating the nature of the learner (what he

learned, how he learned).
Evaluation it is a process because it includes a series of steps. It is
concerned with making judgements on the worth or value of a

The Learning Targets states clearly what the child will be learning in all subject areas
these includes: Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies,
Music, Physical Education, Health, Art and School Counselling.
The learning outcomes to be measure are useful in test construction when they are
stated as terminal performance which are observable. It means that they should
