What are matching methods?

Matching is a quasi-experimental method

in which the researcher uses statistical
techniques to construct an artificial
control group by matching each treated
unit with a non-treated unit of similar
characteristics.
What is educational testing?

Educational testing determines students'

knowledge, skills, and experience of
particular course material or content
through tests or examinations. They aim to
quantify what learners know or understand.
What is the importance of educational
testing?
 Atany school level, educators are issuing tests to
evaluate their students' skill learning and growth or
academic achievements. Therefore testing help;
 Identifystudents’ strengths and weaknesses: Through
testing, students know the areas they need to put more
effort into. Also, it gives teachers a view of what or
areas they need to stress for better student
understanding.
MATCHING

Matching items require students to match a

series of stems or premises to a response or
principle. They consist of a set of directions,
a column of statements and a column of
responses. Matching questions are really a
variation of the multiple choice format.
Matching
 As the name suggests, these types of tests in education only require students to match
two sets of items that either form meaning or relate with each other. These tests help
determine and evaluate students’ ability to distinguish the similarities or associations
between symbols or objects.
 These tests are most commonly used when the course work contains several concepts
like:
 Definitions of terms
 Pictures, objects, and labels
 Causes and effects
 Scenarios and their responses
 Principles and situations to which they apply
True or false

Instructorsmake a factual or wrong

statement with true or false items.
Students respond on the correctness of
the sentence or information. They’re
easy to create and can test a variety
of topics.
Subjective tests
 These are tests without a definite evaluation method. Instead,
they are evaluated based on the opinion or judgment of the
instructor or examiner.
 Thetests present learners with writing prompts or questions for
which they have to demonstrate their mastery of different
learning objectives or goals in their responses.
 When creating subjective tests, it's important that instructors
clearly and precisely phrase the questions to elicit the kind of
answers or skills they would want to measure.
Examples of subjective tests are:
Problem-solving questions
Performance tests
Essays; short-answer and extended-response
essays. Though essays are time-consuming to
administer or score, they effectively measure
higher cognitive skills.
Formative testing
Formative tests are the types of
tests in education that are used or
given to learners throughout the
teaching or lecture process to
demonstrate that the students have
understood the course
Summative tests

These are tests used at the end of the

year or course material to assess how
much knowledge students have acquired
and how much they know or can do. It
covers everything about the learning
material, from the first page to the ideas
of the last pages.
