Second, the relationship between educational measurement and evaluation

Contact person:

Educational measurement refers to the process of quantitatively describing educational phenomena by using certain measuring tools according to certain theories and laws.

Educational evaluation is to judge the state and value of educational phenomenon on the basis of objective description of the evaluation object. Without an objective description of the evaluation object, there will be no objective judgment on the value of the evaluation object. 123 Educational measurement is the basis of educational evaluation, which should be based on the objective information obtained from educational measurement. At the same time, the results of educational measurement are meaningful only through evaluation.

Difference:

1, measurement is the acquisition of quantitative characteristics of things, and it is purely an understanding of the truth of the objective existence of things. Educational evaluation is to judge the value of the object of educational phenomenon and understand the value relationship of educational phenomenon.

2. Educational measurement is a purely objective process, and its prominent feature is objectivity. Educational evaluation has two attributes, namely objectivity and subjectivity.

3. The task of measurement is to know the quantity of things, and evaluation, as a cognitive activity, is a comprehensive reflection of human consciousness on practical activities and their results, reflecting the process and end point of activities and the starting point of new practical activities.
