Educational assessment is defined as the process by which the quality of an individual’s work or performance is judged. In Zambian Schools, assessment of learning is usually carried out by teachers on the basis of impressions gained as they observe their pupils at work or by various kinds of work and tests given periodically. When different tests are given as an on-going process, such assessment is known as continuous assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Child (1973) defines assessment as an omnibus term which includes all the processes and products which describe the nature and extent of the child’s learning, its degree of correspondence with the aims and objectives of teaching and its relationship with the environments which are designed to facilitate learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evaluation <\/a>on the other hand, is what follows once an assessment has been made. It involves the judgement about the effectiveness and worth of something for which the assessment has already been made – usually a teaching objective. Evaluation<\/a> in the context of education is a process used to obtain information from testing, from direct observations of behaviour, from essays and from other devices to assess a student’s overall progress towards some pre-determined goals or objectives. It includes both a qualitative and a quantitative description and involves a value judgement or overall student’s behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n
