The focus is the basic and secondary education levels. The main objective is to demonstrate that assessment of teaching and learning are core to education delivery. The concept of assessment was analyzed. Cases of assessments in Africa were cited and compared. Then the analysis went in-depth into the frameworks for assessing teaching and learning internationally and within Nigeria. It revealed the insufficient assessments so far in the Nigerian education system and the commendable decision of the Minister of Education in 2012 to set up a national committee to development national blueprint for assessing learning achievements in Nigeria. Against these backgrounds, the paper made several recommendations that included the need to institutionalize national frameworks for assessing teaching and learning in Nigeria. It also advised that the national frameworks should be compatible with international teaching and learning assessment models soas to enable comparison of findings in Nigeria and internationally. It further called for the establishment of a national forum on teaching and learning assessment driven by the Federal Ministry of Education to promote exchange of best practices; collaboration among stakeholders involved in teaching and learning assessments to boost the exercises; and the implementation of the recommendations of the learning assessments committee set up by the Federal Government.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Assessment, teaching, learning, basic and secondary education. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [drsteve44@gmail.com](drsteve44@gmail.com). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nTeacher and student performances are two sides of the same coin, so to say. The ultimate aim of teaching is to bring about learning. Therefore, a teaching process that does not result in learning is of no use. Without quality teaching, only a limited form of learning is possible. This is why the National Policy on Education (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2013) states that “No education system can rise above the quality of its teachers”. In some American states, employers even use students’academic achievement as part of the criterion for deciding teacher performance. Though this may be controversial, especially among teachers unions which may argue that several factors (and not just the teacher) are responsible for students’ performance, it shows the great weight attached to quality of teaching when assessing why students pass or fail. Indeed, quackery in the teaching profession has led to the wrong assessment or classification of otherwise brilliant students as “failures”  \nwhereas the failure of such students is as a result of poor pedagogical skills of the teachers.  \nThe foregoing underscores need to bring both teaching and learning into some form of assessment framework. The assessment of teaching and learning in Nigeria has not been sufficiently done. Sometimes, only learning is assessed while teaching is left out and vice versa. Such a situation makes it impossible to have comprehensive data and plausible generalizations about the teaching and learning trends in the school system. There are however, few good learning assessments that tried to ascertain altogether the impact of teachers, school administration, parents and environment on the performance of students to show that all these factors count. Assessment of teaching and learning refer to rational observation and abstraction of data concerning teaching and learning performances across subjects, classes and programmes (and this can extend up to the various levels  \nof the education system and countries) over time ","cbCainIG0qHGyKOD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainIG0qHGyKOD","pdf",133410,13,"English","# Introduction\n# Methodology","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the paper on teaching and learning assessment in Nigeria?\",\"answer\":\"The paper aims to show that assessment of teaching and learning is central to education delivery, especially at basic and secondary levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper say about the current state of assessment in Nigeria?\",\"answer\":\"It finds that assessments conducted so far in Nigeria’s education system are insufficient, often leaving teaching out while focusing only on learning, or vice versa.\"},{\"question\":\"What recommendations does the paper make for improving national assessment frameworks?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for institutionalizing national frameworks compatible with international assessment models, creating a national forum under the Federal Ministry of Education, promoting stakeholder collaboration, and implementing the committee’s learning assessment recommendations.\"}]","African Educational Research Journal - Vol. 5 - Issue 2 - Assessment of teaching and learning in Nigeria: Some methodological issues | PDF",1792070357,33]
