Objectives

Reflection

This test is reliable, I reduced the bias by incorporating the use of bloom's taxonomy which allows for the
students to be tested using the 6 cognitive objectives which are, knowledge, comprehension, application,
analysis, synthesis and evaluation. This test also follows the SHAPE Michigan Standards lesson
objectives for 8th grade. I made sure that the content of the test matches the instructional objectives that
were taught before the test, also making sure that the students had access to the same information that
they were going to be tested on and this is why it is an example of content-related validity.
