Assessment vs Evaluation

First impression: what do you mind if you listen “assessment”?

On Tuesday, November 22th, 2011, we met again with PETA. We discussed about assessment. A word which describe assessment is “Penilaian”. When there is question  about what do you mind if you listen “assessment”? I drew a result of exam (KHS and Score on paper answer). We also discussed about evaluation, what is different about evaluation.  It is real discussion, the discussion is very exciting. There is many extra ordinary arguments.

About assessment and evaluation I read at http://global.cscc.edu/assessment/AssessEval.shtml, according Dayton and Ohio, “assessment is the analysis and use of data by students, faculty, and/or departments to make decisions about improvements in teaching and learning.  And evaluation is the analysis and use of data by faculty to make judgments about student performance”. I agree whit them because Assessment and evaluation is really different, although almost the same, it is equally assess the students. I agree with fikri’s argument that Assessment is done at the beginning of the inquiry, whereas evaluation is usually done at the end. And I think assessment notes down all data, both subjective and objective, but while evaluation notes down whether there has been changes or improvements in learning proses. 

Note:

Be teacher with skills assessment.
