 WHAT IS A TEST?

A test is a method of measuring a person's ability, knowledge, or

performance in a given domain.
 WHAT IS AN ASSESSMENT?

Assessment is a process by which information is obtained relative to

some known objective or goal.
 WHAT IS A TEACHING?

In education, teaching is concerted sharing of knowledge and

experience.
 Informal and Formal Assessment

Informal assessments are Formal assessments are pre-planned,

spontaneous forms of assessment
that can easily be incorporated into
day-to-day classroom activities and
measure students’ performance and
progress.
systematic data-based tests that
measure what and how well students
have learned.
 Formative and Summative Assessment

Formative assessment refers to a Summative assessments are used to

wide variety of methods that
teachers use to conduct in-process
evaluations of student
comprehension, learning needs, and
academic progress during a lesson,
unit, or course.
evaluate student learning, skill
acquisition, and academic
achievement at the conclusion of a
defined instructional period—
typically at the end of a project, unit,
course, semester, program, or school
year.
 Norm-Referenced and Criterion-Referenced Tests

Norm-referenced is a type of Criterion referenced test is the

assessment used in education that
allows teachers to compare a
student’s results to someone else in
their peer group. E.g: TOEFL
process of evaluating (and grading)
the learning of students against a set
of pre-specified qualities or criteria,
without reference to the achievement
of others.
 Discrate point and Integrative Testing

 COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TESTING

A communicative language test is one which requires the students to

complete an authentic task – in other words, a task which is a realistic
reflection of a learner’s experiences in the outside world. As a result, the
test may include a reading task, a writing task, and a speaking task.
 PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENT

Performance-based assessments are seen as a tool to provide feedback

in terms of records of performance produced in actual classroom
teaching events, such as lesson plans, video clips of teaching, and
samples of student work.
CURRENT ISSUES IN CLASSROOM TESTING

1. New views on Intelligence

2. Tradisional and alternative assessment
3. Computer Based Testing
