Assessment is a process that is used to keep track of learners’ progress in relation to learning standards and in the development of 21st-century skills; to promote self-reflection and personal accountability among students about their own learning, and to provide bases for the profiling of student performance on the learning competencies and standards of the curriculum. 

Various kinds of assessments shall be used appropriately for different learners who come from diverse contexts, such as cultural backgrounds and life experiences.

The process of evaluation can be broken down into five key components:

1. Defining the educational goals and objectives.
2. Identifying and collecting essential data.
3. Ensuring that students acquire knowledge and skills relevant to their personal and professional lives.
4. Analyzing and interpreting collected data for students' benefit.
5. Informing classroom management and decision-making processes.
6. Classroom assessments, particularly those designed by teachers themselves, serve as valuable tools for both students and educators. They allow students to gauge their own progress and provide educators with insights into the effectiveness of their teaching methods.

Classroom assessments serve two primary purposes:

1. To assess the extent of students' learning.
2. To clarify the expectations teachers have for their students.
3. Assessment plays a multifaceted role in a student's life, impacting their learning, classroom engagement, and time management. It serves as a catalyst for focused attention and effective learning, extending beyond the mere assignment of grades or degree classifications.

Assessment in the classroom serves six main purposes:

1. Capturing students' attention and time.
2. Facilitating meaningful learning experiences.
3. Providing timely and impactful feedback to students.
4. Promoting understanding of subject matter and its principles.
5. Enabling the differentiation of students' performance.
6. Offering students an opportunity to demonstrate their acquired knowledge.

As Dr. King aptly states, the purpose of MELC-BASED Periodical Tests is to allow students to showcase what they have learned rather than to catch them off guard or expose their areas of weakness.

Evaluation and assessment can encompass various aspects of teaching and learning, including textbooks, teaching materials, student performance, and the entire curriculum. It is essential to differentiate between assessment and evaluation, as these terms, although often used interchangeably, have distinct technical meanings. Evaluating each student's progress and accomplishments involves the collection and analysis of data on their educational journey.
