Why is it important to
give an assessment to
our pupils, particularly
in some literary piece?
 To create an effective
assessment of reading and
text comprehension
skills,the distinguishing
features of test,
measurement, evaluation,
and assessment must be
clearly understood.

OF A
GOOD TEST
LET’S PONDER!

What makes a
good test?
 VALIDITY
• Measure what it intends to measure.
• Ways to establish validity:
Content Validity The test is based on the objectives.

Face Validity Looks of the test on the reading teachers or experts

Concurrent Validity Correlation between the test and other
test taken at the same period of time.
Predictive Validity The measure predicts the future criterion.
 LET’S PONDER!

Will you trust the

scores produce by a
valid test?
 RELIABILITY
• Consistent and stable information.
• Ways to establish reliability:
Test-retest Same test to the same group of examinees.

Parallel-form Two version of a test.

Internal consistency Measures the same construct.
Split-half Test score are divided.
 LET’S PONDER!

If my pupils get a low

score on their first test
and high score on their
second test, is my test
reliable? Why?
 PRACTICALITY
Ease to construct,
administer, and score.
