Evaluating Teaching Program Flashcards
systematic process of making judgments or assessments about the quality, effectiveness, value, or worth of something based on established criteria, standards, or objectives. In education, evaluation involves determining the extent to which students have achieved learning goals or outcomes, as well as assessing the overall effectiveness of educational programs, curriculum, teaching methods, and instructional materials. Evaluation typically involves analyzing assessment data, comparing actual performance against desired outcomes, and making judgments about the overall success or effectiveness of educational efforts.
