    1) Assessment plays a central role in the learning process by determining if learning objectives have been met and providing feedback to improve teaching. 2) Assessment results can be used to improve courses by informing changes to curriculum, teaching methods, and course materials. It also provides data to evaluate how well students are meeting learning outcomes. 3) For learning to be effective, assessment must be integrated into daily teaching and use appropriate strategies to encourage meaningful learning and develop linkages between theory and real-life.

    LEARNING AND TEACHING.”

    SUBMITTED BY:

    INTRODUCTION

    Education is one of the most important aspect of life a human being could have.
    When it comes to humanity, it is one of the most vital which could provide human basic
    skills and thinking skills about a certain matter. Education is a process of exploring
    learner’s potential to grow, conceptual learning effectively and make a positive
    difference at individual and societal level by virtue of their learning. The main purpose of
    educational institutions particularly schools is to create and provide an environment
    conducive for student’s learning.

    For this purpose, teachers are responsible for highlighting student’s strengths
    and needs improvement areas, as thee supports or hindrances student’s learning. Thus,
    assessment has a central and paramount role in extending support to student’s learning
    outcomes. Teachers’ relevant assistance and guidance based on the assessment data
    become very significant in enhancing student’s learning.

    Assessment is a critical step in the learning process. It determines whether or not


    the course’s learning objectives have been met. A learning objective is what students’
    should know or be able to do by the time a lesson is completed. Assessment affects
    many facets of education, including student grades, placement, and advancement as
    well as curriculum, instructional needs, and school funding.

    Whether teaching at the all levels elementary, high school, college,


    undergraduate or graduate levels, it is important for teachers and instructors to evaluate
    the effectiveness of their teaching strategically by measuring the extent to which
    students in the classroom are learning the course material.
    BACKGROUND INFORMATION

    It is proven that assessment contributes positive impacts and clear pathway or


    roadmap to determine whether a teaching strategy is effective and whether a teaching
    strategy has made the students able to learn and absorb information effectively.
    Assessment not only measures students’ and teachers’ efficiency in teaching and
    learning respectively, it also provides progress to teachers’ adjustments in choosing
    effective teaching strategy based on assessments as well as it also drives students to
    cope up with various teaching strategy and determine within themselves which teaching
    method they can easily understand and absorb.

     Assessment is important for several reasons

    1. Assessment result provide qualitative information that helps faculty determine


    how they might improve courses and/or programs through changes in curriculum,
    teaching methodologies, course materials for other areas. When integrated into the
    planning cycle for curriculum development and review, assessment results can provide
    powerful rationale for securing support for curricular and other changes.

    2. Assessment may provide comparative data that can give you valuable
    information on how well your students are meeting the learning outcomes for your
    course/program.

    3. It brings out the benefits for children gathering accurate information from young
    children is difficult and potentially stressful.

     Gibbs (2003) states that assessment has several main functions:

    1. Capturing student’s time and attention.

    2. Generating appropriate student learning activity.

    3. Provides timely feedback which students pay attention to.

    4. Helping students to internalize the disciplines, standards, and notion of equality.

    5. Generating marks or grades which distinguish between students or enable


    pass/fail decisions to be made.
    ANALYSIS

    It is evident that assessment has a relationship with teaching and learning. It is


    obvious that without assessment, a teacher cannot determine whether the student’s
    learn or didn’t or whether the student has understood the information delivered by the
    teacher. Without assessing students after a particular lesson, there will be no basis that
    determines if the particular teaching method used for that lesson delivers clear and
    understandable information.

    Based on the background information, assessment really has a relationship to


    learning and teaching and it can be clearly seen in its importance. Generally speaking,
    assessment is the instrument which teachers use to rate and evaluate the quality of
    their teaching. It is used to gather data of the student’s through exams, quizzes, and
    other activities that measures their natural intelligence, capability of learning and
    potential for adopting to new learning practices. Through assessing student’s learning
    outcomes, it could be determined which specific teaching method that affects their
    performance in learning.

    Also, assessment helps an education institution to broadly modify and improve


    their quality of providing education through their curriculum planning and more
    specifically within every faculty’s course syllabus to improve every teacher’s teaching
    strategies and base it on the outcomes and results of their students’ learning
    performances which has reflected to their used teaching practice.

    Assessment as related to teaching and learning, it is used to complete a learning


    process through highlighting teachers’ and students’ strength and weaknesses that
    could hinder education quality and could obstruct the flow of correct information through
    the society. Because learning and teaching as a main part of education system needs
    comprehensive and clear data gathering and provide appropriate learning environment
    through its assessment procedures and strategies.
    CONCLUSION

    Assessment is a critical aspect of teaching and learning process which aims to


    collect, interpret and analyze student’s performance. The quality of assessment
    practices in the classroom determines the quality of learning. Assessment has many
    purposes that focuses on the different dimensions of educational development but the
    most dominant purpose of assessing students is to improve student’s learning and
    develop accountability measures for learning at classroom and school levels.

    In order to assess students effectively, it is important to use appropriate


    assessment strategies. It is important that a teacher should have clear understanding
    and skills of using various assessment strategies because commonly, teachers rely on
    limited strategies which alone cannot promote meaningful learning when there are a
    number of strategies that can be employed to enhance student’s learning outcome.

    It is fundamental for teachers to understand the relationship between teaching


    and learning, Moreover, students also need to engage in their own learning in a
    challenging but enabling environment. The assessment practices and strategies must
    encourage developing linkage of theory and real life. Assessment is meant to contribute
    in students learning and thus need to be integrated in daily teaching and learning
    process in the classroom.
