Educational evaluation is the evaluation process of characterizing and appraising some aspect/s of an educational process.
Two common purposes of educational evaluation sometimes conflict with one another. Educational institutions usually require evaluation data to demonstrate effectiveness to funders and other stakeholders, and to provide a measure of performance for marketing purposes. Educational evaluation is also a professional activity that individual educators need to undertake if they intend to continuously review and enhance the learning they are endeavoring to facilitate.
