EVALUATION
Testing of the learning and training outcomes are done through measurement and 
evaluation. Evaluation has to do with judgment and description. The science of 
subjecting learners or trainees to specific tasks and then evaluating and measuring 
the outcomes, in order to identify the learners or trainees attributes under specific 
conditions is called psychometrics. Learning is evaluated in the three domains.
•  The intellectual or cognitive domain
•  The physical or manipulative or psychomotor domain
•  The effective domain or the domain of the feeling and aesthetics.
Measurement and evaluation involve two types of tasks:
a)  Timed tasks referred to as ‘pencil and paper’ examinations and include:
i.  Written examinations
ii.  Performance/practical examinations
iii.  Oral and aural examinations
b)  Unlimited tasks, which cover:
i.  Course-work practical undertaken during the teaching/training session.
ii.  Project work undertaken by individual or groups of trainees.
