Unit 1

Assessment, Testing and Evaluation

Assesment is the process of observing learning, thats describing, collecting, recording, scoring, and interpreting information about a student's or one's own learning, so pretty much we can say will be the way that teachers evaluate students learning.
Theres formal and informal assessment, the informal one is the one inside the classroom with the teacher monitoring students and the reason for this one is to provide students helpful information that will help in formal tests and also and giving them feedback.

Testing is a part of the assessment, we can say tests are assessments made under contrived circumstances especially so that they may be administered.

Classroom relationship.
Assessments will go further than just measure learning.
What and how we assess, and how we communicate the results will send a clear message to students about what is worth learning, how it should be learned, and also how well we expect them to perform.

Teaching

The activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill; "he received no formal education"; "our instruction was carefully programmed"; "good classroom teaching is seldom rewarded"
