Good quality assessment is instrumental in determining a student's future goal and career path, besides impacting all stakeholders of the school system. The overarching goal of ‘National Education Policy 2020’ is that of harnessing human resources (teacher and taught) to create value propositions (life skills, digital literacy and employment fitness). The Covid-19 Pandemic jump started the teaching community to use digital technology extensively, whether it was for teaching, assessment or evaluation. The process of measurement, evaluation and assessment is interlinked with curriculum and teaching-learning methods enabling learning outcomes to be determined. An effective school system cannot be built where the students are examined on the basis of mere paper and pencil tests. Today schools have access to the use of a range of techniques for student's assessment, teacher performance, school's effectiveness and the evaluation of the school system as a whole. The present edition encompasses traditional offline mode along with online and hybrid modes, thus providing an in-depth knowledge and understanding of measurement, evaluation and statistics in education. All the useful themes stay intact although they have been reorganized and simplified in places. The References at the end of each chapter have been updated. Technology has drastically changed our lives. Smartphones, cloud computing, social media and videoconferencing are but a few of the innovations which have contributed to the successful use of digital technology in teaching-learning. All educational institutions had to adopt hybrid/blended modes of teaching and learning. This necessitated a need for teachers to be trained in the use of digital platforms and online tools. Chapter 17 takes a look at selected tools currently in use in many schools and colleges. The book is intended for the students of B.Ed, M.Ed and M.A. (Education). The book will also prove to be of immense value to school administrators, counselors and all other stakeholders of education.

The book is divided into three parts. Part One introduces the measurement process, showing readers the relevance of measurement and evaluation to their personal and professional lives, and including examples and statistics related to such concepts as validity, reliability, and objectivity. The two chapters in Part Two further help readers understand numbers and assist those who need to use more advanced statistical calculations. Part Three presents measurement and evaluation applications in various settings, such as measuring physical fitness; measuring exercise, physical activity, and health; measuring in competitive sports and coaching; measuring and evaluating knowledge and assigning grades; and measuring in research. Throughout, discussions and examples show the relevance and application of measurement and evaluation in various professions, including physical therapy, athletic training, fitness/wellness management, exercise and sport psychology, exercise science, coaching, and physical education.
