This video is a lecture on the topic of Educational Measurement, part of the Deled (Diploma in Elementary Education) 3rd semester curriculum. The instructor introduces the concept, importance, characteristics, objectives, levels, types, and uses of educational measurement. The lecture is designed to help students understand how educational measurement works and its relevance in assessing student performance.

Main Ideas and Concepts

1. Introduction to Educational Measurement

Educational measurement refers to the process of quantifying a student’s abilities and characteristics using numerical units such as marks and grades.
It helps determine a child’s academic progress and standing in class.
Measurement in education can be both qualitative and quantitative.
It is important for teachers and parents to understand a student’s performance through these measurements.

2. Definition of Educational Measurement

According to Stevens,

“Measurement is the process of assigning marks to objects according to certain accepted rules.”
This involves assigning numerical or symbolic values based on standardized rules.

3. Characteristics of Educational Measurement

Numerical Form: Results are expressed in numbers or marks.
Helpful in Evaluation: Measurement is a subset of evaluation, providing data for deeper analysis.
Describes Characteristics: It measures qualities or traits rather than physical objects.
Quantitative: It expresses the magnitude of characteristics mathematically.
Incomplete: It cannot measure all aspects of a student’s achievement perfectly due to various factors (e.g., illness during exams).

4. Objectives of Educational Measurement

To develop effective teaching strategies by identifying student weaknesses.
To make teaching enjoyable and learning easier by adapting methods.
To identify factors hindering student development.
To provide educational facilities tailored to individual student needs, such as accommodations for disabilities.

5. Levels of Educational Measurement (According to Stevens)

Nominal Level: Categorizes data by names or labels without any order (e.g., gender, subject streams).
Ordinal Level: Data is ordered or ranked (e.g., best, average, weak; positions like 1st, 2nd).
Interval Level: Measures differences between values with equal intervals but no true zero (e.g., grading system where differences between grades are equal).
Ratio Level: The highest and most refined level; includes a true zero point allowing for ratio comparisons (e.g., length, weight, distance measurements).

6. Types of Educational Measurement

Mental (General) Measurement: Measures mental qualities like personality, intelligence, attitudes; results are not mathematically quantifiable.
Physical (Absolute) Measurement: Measures physical attributes like length, temperature, weight.
Receptive (Relative) Measurement: Introduced by Raymond Cattell; involves forced-choice ranking where individuals prioritize preferences among options.

7. Uses and Importance of Educational Measurement

Forecasting future performance and potential of students.
Providing advice and guidance based on student strengths and weaknesses.
Diagnosing learning problems to address and solve them.
Motivating students by identifying areas for improvement.
Improving curriculum and teaching methods based on measurement feedback.

Methodology / Key Points to Remember

Definition to memorize: Measurement is the process of assigning marks to objects according to accepted rules (Stevens).
Characteristics to recall:
- Numerical form
- Basis for evaluation
- Describes qualities, not objects
- Quantitative but incomplete
Objectives:
- Develop teaching strategies
- Make learning enjoyable
- Identify hindering factors
- Provide individual educational facilities
Levels of Measurement:
- Nominal (names/categories)
- Ordinal (rank/order)
- Interval (equal intervals, no true zero)
- Ratio (true zero, ratio comparisons)
Types of Measurement:
- Mental (personality, IQ)
- Physical (length, weight)
- Receptive (forced-choice ranking)
Uses:
- Forecasting
- Advising
- Diagnosing problems
- Motivating students
- Curriculum improvement
