"The subject of this book is measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes. The evaluation of the knowledge, skills, and values students have acquired as a result of instruction is an executive function of every classroom teacher. As such, it is a critical task that teachers have to perform in their effort towards causing learning among their students. This book was, therefore, conceived to acquaint prospective teachers on the basics of educational testing, measurement, and evaluation." -- Preface
