  1. Assessment & Evaluation

  2. Evaluation is a purposeful , cyclical process of collecting , analyzing and interpreting relevant information in order to judge and make educational decisions . The process of evaluation includes different stages and aspects such as measurement , assessment , appraisal and judgement . It is usually thought of as producing the “ big picture “ of student achievement over time . Evaluations are used to make decisions about the level of teaching and learning within a school , a governorate or a country . Instruments for evaluations include test cores , interviews and attendance records .

  3. Evaluation Summative Formative It is the evaluation where the teacher evaluates an overall aspect of the learner’s knowledge in order to summarize the situation ; how proficient the learner is at a certain point in time or how much he/she has progressed during a particular course . It is the ongoing correction and assessment directed at specific bits of learner-produced language with the aim of bringing about improvement . Its main purpose is to form and enhance the learning process .
