Free Assessment and Evaluation MCQs with Answers
456 Assessment and Evaluation MCQs from Pedagogy, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.
Assessment gathers evidence of learning, while evaluation uses that evidence to judge achievement, teaching or a programme. Coverage includes formative and summative assessment, diagnostic and placement tests, validity, reliability, objectivity, scoring, grading, feedback, and norm-referenced versus criterion-referenced interpretation. Measurement supplies numerical results, but evaluation involves a broader judgement.

Explanation: Naturalistic observation records behaviour in its usual setting without imposing experimental conditions.
Correct answer: observation- A. education
- B. scientific
- C. arts
- D. Historical Research
Explanation: Basic research aims to extend knowledge and improve scientific theories, rather than solve an immediate practical problem.
Correct answer: scientific225. Experiment is type of research conducted using a scientific approach using two or more ___________?
- A. constant
- B. variables
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: An experiment studies variables by manipulating at least one variable and observing its effect while controlling other conditions.
Correct answer: variables- A. find
- B. prove
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Experimentation is used to test a hypothesis by examining evidence under controlled conditions; introductory texts often describe this as…
Correct answer: prove- A. many
- B. few
- C. both

Explanation: Experimental research permits researchers to manipulate or use many variations of the variables under study.
Correct answer: many- A. implement
- B. process
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: A cyclic or spiral process alternates between action and critical reflection, especially in action research.
Correct answer: process- A. basic
- B. final
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Act is one of the basic stages in the action-research cycle, alongside planning, observation, and reflection.
Correct answer: basic- A. application
- B. theories
- C. recommendation
- D. All of these
Explanation: New facts may require researchers to revise accepted theories or laws, or to apply new and revised theories.
Correct answer: theories- A. relationship
- B. no relationship
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Causal-comparative research examines possible cause-and-effect relationships after the conditions have occurred naturally.
Correct answer: relationship- A. control
- B. uncontrol
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Experimental research gives the researcher relatively high control over variables, treatment conditions, and comparison groups.
Correct answer: control- A. Collect

Correct answer: conducted- A. reference
- B. non reference
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Ex post facto literally means “after the fact” and refers to studying an event or condition that has already occurred.
Correct answer: reference238. Experimental research is a kind of study that rigidly ___________ a scientific research designs?
- A. non follows
- B. follows
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Experimental research follows a planned scientific design so that variables and procedures can be controlled and the findings tested.
Correct answer: follows- A. Controlled
- B. uncontrolled
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Experimental research uses controlled conditions so that changes in the dependent variable can be attributed to the independent variable.
Correct answer: Controlled- A. dependent
- B. non dependent
- C. both
- D. None of these
Explanation: Causal-comparative research examines the effects of an existing independent variable on a dependent variable without manipulating the…
