Keywords:
educational assessment, assessment of learning, assessment for learning, validity, threats to validityAbstract
The educational process comprises several important elements, including teaching methods, learning and assessment. Teaching methods are frequently emphasized in faculty development activities, while the acquisition of knowledge and skills in educational assessment is limited or undertaken informally. It is important that all stakeholders of the educational process, students, teachers, authorities and society have a basic understanding of some educational assessment basic concepts. This area, like any other technical-scientific discipline, has its own terminology. We need to develop conscience about the virtues and limitations of the educational assessment tools. This paper presents some of the relevant definitions in the area of educational assessment.
