INTRODUCTION

• The instructional objectives must be specific,


measurable and observable

• Teachers must develop test items that should


match with the instructional objectives
appropriately and accurately.
General Principles of Testing
• Measure all instructional objectives. When a teacher constructs test
items to measure the learning progress of the students, they should
match all the learning objectives posed during instruction. That is why
the first step in constructing a test is for the teacher to go back to the
instructional objectives.
• Cover all the learning tasks. The teacher should construct a test that
contains a wide range of sampling items. In this case, the teacher can
determine the educational outcomes or abilities that the resulting
scores are representatives of the total performance in the areas
measured.
General Principles of Testing
• Use appropriate test items. The test items constructed must be
appropriate to measure learning outcomes.
• Make test valid and reliable. The teacher must construct a test
that is valid so that it can measure what it is supposed to measure
from the students. The test is reliable, when the scores of the
students remain the same or consistent when the teacher gives the
same test for the second time.
• Use test to improve learning. The test scores should be utilized by
the teacher properly to improve learning by discussing the skills or
competencies on the items that have been learned or mastered by
the learners.
Principles of High Quality Assessment
• Assessing the students performance is a very critical task for
classroom teacher.
• Teacher-made test are developed by a classroom teacher to assess
the learning progress of the students within classroom.
• The strengths of a teacher-made test lie on its applicability on
relevance in the setting where they are utilized.
• Its weaknesses are the limited time and resources for the teacher to
utilize the test and also some of the technicalities involved in the
development of the assessment tools.
Principles of High Quality Assessment
• Test constructors believed that every assessment tool should possess
good qualities.

• Validity and reliability are the most common technical concepts in


assessment.
• Assessment should be carefully developed so that it may serve
whatever purpose it is intended for and the test results must be
consistent with the types of assessment that will be utilized.
Principles of High Quality Assessment
Clarity of the learning target
• When a teacher plans for his classroom instruction, the learning
target should be clearly stated and must be focused on student
learning objectives rather than teacher activity.
• The learning outcomes must be SMART
• The performance task of the students should also be clearly
presented
• The teacher should also discuss clearly with the students the
evaluation procedures, the criteria to be used, and the skills to
be assessed in the task.

Principles of High Quality Assessment
Appropriateness of Assessment Tool

• The type of test should always match the instructional objectives


or Learning outcomes of the subject matter posed during the
delivery of the instruction.

• Teachers should be skilled in choosing and developing assessment


methods.

Objective Test
• Requires student to select the correct response from several
alternatives or to supply a word or short phrase to answer a
question or complete a statement.
• It includes True or False, matching type, and multiple choice
questions.
• The word objective refers to the scoring.

Subjective Test
• Permits the student to organize and present an original answer.

• It includes either short or long general questions

• This type of test has no specific answer

• It is scored on an opinion basis.


PRINCIPLES OF HIGH QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Performance Assessment

• Students are asked to perform real world tasks.

• It can measure learning objectives which focus on the ability of


the students to demonstrate skills or knowledge in real-life
situations.

Portfolio Assessment

• Assessment based on the systematic longitudinal


collection of students were created in response to specific
known instructional objectives and evaluated in relation
to the same criteria.

Oral Questioning

• Collecting assessment data by asking questions.

• The most commonly used of all forms of assessment in class.


Steps in Developing Assessment Tools

1. Examine the instructional objectives of the topics previously


discussed;
2. Make a Table of Specifications (TOS);
3. Construct the test items;
4. Assemble the test items;
5. Check the assembled test items;
6. Write direction;
7. Make the answer key; and
8. Analyze and improve the test items.
