It encompasses al technologies used to handle telecommunications, broadcast media, and network-based control and monitoring functions, essentially focusing on using technology to communicate and manage information.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
This provides ample gaps and opportunities with potential benefits for enhancing the quality of education.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
_________ is a broader term encompassing the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, while ______ specifically focuses on technologies used for handling and communicating information, including computers, networks, and telecommunications.
“technology”
“ICT”
This specifically focuses on technologies used for handling and communicating information, including computers, networks, and telecommunications.
ICT
It is a broader term encompassing the application of scientific knowledge for practical purpose
Technology
It is “the process of obtaining information that is used to make educational decisions about students, to give feedback to the student about his or her progress, strengths and weaknesses, to judge instructional effectiveness and curricular adequacy and to inform policy”
Assessment
This provides feedback and information during the instructional process, while learning is taking place, and while learning is occurring.
Formative Assessment
This takes place after the learning has been completed and provides information and feedback that sums up the teaching and learning process
Summative Assessment
This describes the multiple forms of assessment that reflect student learning, achievement, motivation, and attitudes on instructionally relevant classroom activities.
Authentic Assessment
A teacher provides immediate feedback on a student’s rough draft before the final submission.
formative
Students complete a final exam at the end of the semester to evaluate their overall learning.
Summative
A history teacher assigns a group research project where students present their findings to the class.
Authentic
A student keeps a portfolio of their writing assignments, reflecting on their progress over time.
authentic
A social science teacher administers a unit test that counts toward the final grade.
Summative
A pop quiz at the beginning of class to assess prior knowledge.

Importance of ICT in Assessment and Evaluation
ICT plays an important role in assessing achievement of learners and finding out their grades.
It also helps to report the student’s achievement, drawing inferences, analyzing and synthesizing, predicting, comparing, evaluating student’s higher order thinking through electronic reporting systems.
Hence, using ICT in classrooms is having many productive benefits:
Hence, using ICT in classrooms is having many productive benefits:
STUDENTS
It increases student’s outcome in al subjects particularly with the help of using multiple technologies like video, computer, and telecommunication.
It also promotes problem solving and divergent thinking.
It stimulates student’s motivation and involvement significantly.
For evaluating the knowledge of students, it develops higher order thinking in them.
It fosters cooperative and collaborative learning among the students
Hence, using ICT in classrooms is having many productive benefits:
TEACHERS
Moving from traditional direct approach to a student-centered approach
Greater revision of, and reflection on, curricula and instructional strategies
Issues Involved in Moving towards ICT Based Assessment
Problems related to paucity of qualified teachers, lack of proper knowledge about various computer skills (hardware and software), electricity, and poor project implementation strategies
Pedagogic Issues
Issues Involved in Moving towards ICT Based Assessment
Insufficient and inappropriate technology, tools, and strategies put various challenges to implement authentic assessment
Implementation issues
For effective implementation of ICT in assessment and evaluation, the following should be adopted:
Automated formative assessment computer provides immediate feedback that supports better performance and improved learning.
In order to enhance summative assessment, automated scoring with computer based concept mapping should be used to develop critical and creative thinking about complex relationships
Encouragement should be provided to the students through online peer and collaborative assessment.
Frequent feedback should be provided while using test material from the computer; this will increase motivation and improve performance of the student in the same test material.
With the help of ICT, teachers can store and record information about students regarding understanding of new material and can diagnose about what they have had learnt and on the basis of this teachers can provide corrective feedback to the students.
This provides immediate feedback that supports better performance and improved learning.
Automated formative assessment computer
In order to enhance summative assessment, ______________ should be used to develop critical and creative thinking about complex relationships
