Concept and nature of measurement and evaluation��Meaning, process, purposes and problems in evaluation and measurement
General objectives
Students will be able to gain adequate knowledge regarding measurement and evaluation and apply in during their research.
Specific objectives
Students will be able to
Define measurement and evaluation
understand the concept of measurement and evaluation
Explain the nature of measurement and evaluation
Enumerate the process of evaluation
List down the purposes of measurement and evaluation
State the problems and challenges in measurement and evaluation.





Introduction
Plays an important role in all educational institutions especially in NURSING
Students achievement is influenced by the measurement and evaluation practices.
Mostly consists of empirical observations
Serves as a basis for guidance and counselling services.

Meaning and definition
Evaluation is interchanged with the terms assessment , measurement and testing
Each of it have distinct meaning
Testing

Measurement

Assessment

Evaluation


Measurement : Assigning Numbers to performances
Assessment : when Numerical value is not given
Evaluation : The process of judging the value or worth of an individuals characteristics or an outcome or a performance.

definition
Measurement:
Measurement results are some score or numerical value and quantitative description of the pupils
( Norman E Gronlund).
Evaluation:
The process of judging the value or worth of an individuals characteristics or an outcome or a programme.
Concept of measurement and evaluation
Measurement :
Applying a standard scale or measuring device to an object , a series of objects a events or condition.
Measurement answers the question of how much.
Eg: height , weight , Miles travelled, shop keeper – wheat , sugar , fruits , vegetables.
Finally it’s the objects , numbers or even symbols according to certain rules ( which is quantitative).


Evaluation :
Continuous process
Systematic process
Differs from measurement
Integral part of education

Nature of measurement and evaluation
Measurement
Quantitative
External
Evaluation
Qualitative
Both internal and external ( you evaluate both )

Process of evaluation
Many factors have implication for evaluation

PURPOSES OF MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION
Essentials for sound educational decision making
Attains educational goals
Helps in the improvement of the curriculum
Assists in developing a scientific approach to educational problems
Appraises the status and changes in learners behaviour
Discloses learners needs , possibilities , strength , weakness and to suggest remedial measures for solution of the problem.

14. Familiarizes the teacher with the nature of students learning , development and progress. It appraises the teachers / supervisors competence. To gather the information needed for administration purpose. Eg : Formation of standards for selection of students for different courses , promotion , placement of students for advanced studies and meeting graduation requirement.

15. problems and challenges of measurement and evaluation Poor Planning: Failing to plan properly results in poor outcomes. Poor planning can lead to not having the right amount of time needed to conduct evaluation Poor planning can lead to not having enough resources (i.e. funding, personnel, space, etc.) for measurement tools and evaluation. Poor planning can also result in implementation fidelity issues (i.e. how well a program or intervention is being adhered to) which negatively impacts the integrity of the evaluation and leads to unintended consequences.

16. Lack of Readiness If an measurement or evaluation isn’t seen as a priority there can be a lack of input and cooperation from from staff , students and stakeholders in the evaluation process.( Inform prior ) which can also result in limited resources, uncooperative staff, and an absence of understanding of why the evaluation is even needed or valuable.

17. Ineffective Approaches Not using the right data collection methods, will lead to improper understanding on how to properly and correctly identify data. Not choosing the right evaluator/ samples will lead to ineffective evaluation experience.

18. Inappropriate measurement tools ( questionnaire) Deciding or selecting the right measurement tools is the key element of the evaluation process. Example : Questions that are unclear, that use too much jargon, that don’t take into account the audience, that are biased in any way, and that don’t have a clear and understandable method for participants to respond are all problems that will upend the evaluation process.

19. Irrelevant Data The data collected from the sample will be irrelevent if there is an error in selection of the measurement tools. unorganized data will not be useful in the evaluation outcome.

20. Conclusion Measurement and evaluation plays an important role in evidence based practice. Having proper knowledge on the nature , concepts , process , purposes and the problems and challenges faced by the researcher in using measurement tools and during the evaluation process will help us to have quality unbiased outcome.
