Which term refers to quantitative and qualitative descriptions of student learning?

Assessment
Measurement
Evaluation
Analysis

The correct answer is: Measurement

The term that refers to quantitative and qualitative descriptions of student learning is evaluation. Evaluation encompasses both measurable data (quantitative) and subjective judgments (qualitative) regarding student performance and understanding. Assessment is more focused on the tools and methods used to gauge student learning, including tests and quizzes, while measurement pertains specifically to the process of collecting quantitative data. Analysis involves examining and interpreting the data obtained from assessments and evaluations but does not inherently describe the learning itself. Therefore, evaluation is the most comprehensive term that captures the essence of both quantitative and qualitative descriptions in the context of student learning.
