Vs. Testing
TEACHING
• Teaching is aimed at helping the students to practice their performances by carrying out some activities that can
provide the students with the opportunities to listen, read, think, take risks, set goals, and process feedback from
the practicing activity and then repair and re-do through the skills that they are trying to master.

ASSESING
• In educational practices (contexts), assessment is an ongoing process used to know or judge the student’s progress
and evaluate the teaching and learning process

TESTING
• A technique or method used to measure individual’s competence (knowledge, ability or skill, and performance)

Roles of Assessment

 Assessment lets teachers see what progress your child is making and provides teachers
with information which assists them to plan how to help pupils make further progress.
 Assessment also enables schools to report information to you as a parent, as well as
information to help older children make choices about the examination courses they will
follow and the qualifications and careers they will seek.
 Assessment also helps schools to set targets for the future and to measure their
performance. This information also lets government monitor the performance of the
schools’ system generally.
