ABSTRACT
Assessment and evaluation are essential components of the educational process,
serving as instruments to measure students’ academic achievement, skill development,
and critical thinking capabilities. Effective assessment methods provide educators with
valuable insights into learners’ strengths, weaknesses, and areas requiring
improvement, thereby guiding instructional strategies and curriculum design. This
study explores various assessment techniques, including formative and summative
evaluations, standardized testing, performance-based assessments, and self-assessment
approaches, emphasizing their role in fostering analytical thinking and problem-
solving skills.
