Put the following in the correct sequence in the light of the process of evaluation.

1.Development and use of measurement instruments

2.Interpretation of data

3.Setting objectives and criteria

4.Formulation of judgments and taking of appropriate action

A1, 2, 3, 4

B2, 3, 1, 4

C3, 1, 2, 4 ✓ Correct

D1, 3, 2, 4

Correct answer: (C) 3, 1, 2, 4

Explanation

Evaluation begins with setting objectives and criteria (3), then developing and using measurement instruments (1).

Next comes interpretation of data (2), followed by formulation of judgments and taking appropriate action (4).

Statement 3 must lead because criteria define what is to be measured.

Statement 1 follows since instruments are built to gather evidence against those criteria.

Statement 2 precedes judgment because raw data must be interpreted before decisions.

Evaluation is broader than measurement, adding value judgment to the numbers that measurement yields.
