Assesment: In education, the term assessment refers to the wide variety of

methods or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure, and document the
academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of
students.

Evaluation. "Evaluation is the collection of, analysis and interpretation of

information about any aspect of a programme of education or training as part of a
recognised process of judging its effectiveness, its efficiency and any other outcomes
it may have."

Teaching In education, teaching is the concerted sharing of knowledge and

experience, which is usually organized within a discipline and, more generally,
the provision of stimulus to the psychological and intellectual growth of a person
by another person or artifact.

Testing A test is a “product” that measures a particular behavior or set of

objectives. Meanwhile assessment is seen as a procedure instead of a product.
Assessment is used during and after the instruction has taken place. After you’ve
received the results of your assessment, you can interpret the results and in case
needed alter the instruction. Tests are done after the instruction has taken place,
it’s a way to complete the instruction and get the results. The results of the tests
don’t have to be interpreted, unlike assessment.
