2. 2. Four concepts associated with assessment Test MeasurementAssessment Evaluation 3. 3. TestAn instrument designed to measure any characteristic, ability or knowledgeComprised of test items on the area it intends to measure 4. 4. MeasurementA process of quantifying the degree to which someone or something possesses a given trait.A broader term than test because there are other ways of measuring other than through test, like observation, use of checklist and rating scales. 5. 5. AssessmentA process of gathering and organizing quantitative or qualitative data into an interpretable form to have a basis for judgment or decision-makingA broader term than measurement and involves interpreting or placing such information in contextA prerequisite to evaluation as it provides the information which enables evaluation to take place 6. 6. EvaluationA process of systematic collection and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data in order to make some judgment or decisionInvolves judgment about the desirability of changes in students 7. 7.

PRINCIPLES OF HIGH QUALITY ASSESSMENTContinuous process Takes place prior, during and after instructionAppropriate methods Good match between learning targets and assessment methodPracticality and efficiency The information should be worth the resources and time required to obtain itAppropriate and clear learning Learning targets should be clearlytargets stated and centers on what is importantBalance Should set targets in all learning and intelligence domainsFairness Should provide students with equal opportunity to demonstrate achievement 22. 22. PRINCIPLES OF HIGH QUALITY ASSESSMENTCommunication Targets, standards and results should be communicated to studentsAuthenticity Meaningful task, clear standards, transferable learningPositive consequences Should motivate both students and teachers to improveEthics Should free students from misuse of assessment proceduresReliabilityValidity 23. 23.

What is a rubric?Contains characteristics of a desirable trait Measure the degree to which a performance or product work or has been satisfied by one’sRater checks the ones observe in one’s performance performanceat least 3 levels or product -is a measuring instrument usually Uses used in rating performance-based tasks-is a cross between a checklist and a rating scale 30. 30. Types of rubricHolistic Rubric-describes the overall quality of aperformance or product; there isonly one rating given to the entire work or performance 31. 31. Holistic Rubric -allows fast assessment-provides one score to describe the overall performance or quality of work-can indicate the general strengths and weaknesses of the work or performance 32. 32. Holistic Rubric -does not clearly describe thedegree of the criterion satisfied ornot satisfied by the performance or product -does not permit differential weighting of he qualities of a product or performance 33. 33. Types of rubricAnalytic Rubric -describes the quality of aperformance or product in terms of the identified dimensions and/or criteria which are rated independently to give a better picture of the quality of work or performance 34. 34. Analytic rubric-Clearly describes the degree of thecriterion satisfied or not satisfied by the performance or product -permits differential weighting of the qualities of a product or a performance-helps raters pinpoint specific areas of strengths and weaknesses 35. 35. Analytic rubric--more time consuming to use -more difficult to construct 36. 36. Important elements found in a rubric -competency to be tested (requires either a demonstration or creation of products of learning -performance task (should be authentic and feasible) -evaluative criteria and their indicators (should be made clear using observable traits) 37. 37. Important elements found in a rubric -performance levels (at least 3) -qualitative and quantitative descriptions of each performance level (must be observable) 38. 38. What is a test? -a test is an instrument or systematic procedure, whichtypically consists a set of questions for measuring any characteristic, quality, ability, skill or knowledge 39. 39. Different types of tests scope & purpose interpretation contentTime limit & level According language of difficulty to mode manner of Manner of Effect ofadministration construction biases 40. 40. According to purpose What the test measuresEducational test-aims to measure the results ofinstruction; administered after theinstructional process Achievement test-what the studenthas achieved at the end of instruction;what has been learned 41. 41. According to purpose What the test measuresEx:Aptitude test-areas where the student will likelysucceed; specifically measures different mentalprocesses like verbal, numerical, spatial, andmechanical reasoning; also judgment, analysis & logicPersonality test- student’s personal traitsIntelligence test- student’s mental ability;innate/inherent capacity of the mind without anybackground training 42. 42. According to purpose What the test measuresPsychological test-aims to measure students’ intelligence ormental ability in a large degree withoutreference to what the student has learned;intangible aspects of an individual;administered before the instructional process 43. 43. According to interpretation How the test is interpretedNorm-referenced test-result is interpreted by comparing onestudent with other students-some will really pass-there is competition for a limited percentageof high score-describes student’s performance comparedto others 44. 44. According to interpretation How the test is interpretedCriterion-referenced test-result is interpreted by comparing a studentagainst a set of criteria-all or none may pass-there is NO competition for a limitedpercentage of high score-describes student’s mastery of the courseobjective 45. 45. According to the scope and contentSurvey-covers a broad range of objectives-measures general achievement in certainsubjects-is constructed by trained professionalMastery Test- covers a specific learning objective-measures fundamental skills and abilities-is typically constructed by the teacher 46. 46. According to time limit and level of difficultyPower-consists of items of increasing level of difficultybut taken with ample time-measures a student’s ability to answer more andmore difficult itemsMastery Test-covers a specific learning objective-measures fundamental skills and abilities-is typically constructed by the teacher
