Norms Development

Norms are developed by defining a target population, selecting a representative sample from that population, and standardizing test conditions. There are different types of norms including age-equivalent, grade-equivalent, percentile, and standard score norms. Age-equivalent norms compare performance to others of the same age, while grade-equivalent norms compare performance to others in the same class or grade. Percentile norms indicate what percentage of the sample a score falls above or below, and standard score norms convert raw scores to z-scores, t-scores, or stanines for comparison.

Norms Development

Norms may be defined as the average performance on a


test made by standardized sample
Raw scores with the performance of the standardization
sample they are converted into dervied scores or standard
scores
When the raw scores are compared to the norms, a
scientific meaning emerges
Steps in Developing Norms
→Defining the target population
→Selecting the sample from the population
→Standardizing the conditions by controling external
variables
Types of Norms
→Age- equalivalent Norms
selecting by particular age
→Grade- equalivalent Norms
selecting by particular class or grade
→Percentile Norms or percentile-rank norms
→Standard scores norms
uses Z scores, T-scores Stanine scores
