World War I: A Global Conflict of Unprecedented

 World War I: A Global Conflict of Unprecedented  ScaleWorld War I, often referred to as the Great War, was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. It involved major world powers divided into two opposing alliances: the Allies (comprising primarily France, Russia, and the United Kingdom) and the Central Powers (chiefly Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire).

Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation in Education

 Measurement, Assessment, and Evaluation in Education Throughout my years of teaching undergraduate courses, and to some extent, graduate courses, I was continuously reminded each semester that many of my students who had taken the requisite course in "educational tests and measurements" or a course with a similar title as part of their professional preparation, often had confusing ideas about fundamental differences in terms such as measurement, assessment and evaluation as they are used in education.  When I asked the question, "what is the difference between assessment and evaluation," I usually got a lot of blank stares.
