Preface

While teaching and learning are a significant part of any education system, an equally critical yet often ignored part is assessment. If done right, assessment not only helps students understand their strengths and shortcomings better but also lets the teachers know the areas of improvement in knowledge delivery. It acts as a guardrail for the overall system and helps it in moving forward with a positive momentum. It is assessment alone that gives an exact idea of what has actually been achieved and learned at the end of a particular period or stage as a result of the teaching-learning experiences provided in the classroom.

This book takes an all-round look at the assessment of learning. From the concept of evaluation, tools & techniques to the new trends in the area, it explores topics on the matter that few have touched upon before. It covers all aspects of Measurement Evaluation and Assessment in Education making it an essential read for all Teachers Training programs for both B.Ed. and M.Ed. courses.

We take this opportunity to thank the many co-educators for their inputs and the students for their valuable feedback on the topic. Without them, it wouldn’t have been possible to make this book as comprehensive as it is in its current form.
