Assessment of Learning (Day 30) Flashcards
spread of scores, above or below the measures of central tendency
measure of central tendency
three measures of variability;
RQS
- range
- quartile deviation
- standard deviation
three measures of variability;
RQS
difference between the highest score and the lowest score
range
three measures of variability;
RQS
rough estimation, easily affected by extreme scores, easy to compute
range
three measures of variability;
RQS
only the middle 50% of the scores in the distribution
quartile deviation
formula of range
R= HS-LS
three measures of variability;
RQS
Average deviation of the third quartile and the first quartile from the value of median
quartile deviation
three measures of variability;
RQS
reduces the influence of the extreme scores
quartile deviation
three measures of variability;
RQS
it’s bases is the mean
standard deviation
three measures of variability;
RQS
it’s bases id the median
quartile deviation
three measures of variability;
RQS
most important measure and most commonly used of variation or dispersion, most stable.
standard deviation
interpretation result;
SL
1.small variability
2.large variability
interpretation result;
small variability
closer, clustered, homogeneous, less varied
interpretation result;
large variability
dispersed, scattered, spread apart, far from each other, heterogeneous, more varied
degree of departure of the scores from a symmetry
measures of skewness
few high, few low and found in the middle
measures of skewness
group performance of the students, overall performance of the students
measures of skewness
measures of skewness;
PN
- positively skewed
- negatively skewed
measures of skewness;
skewed to the right high score
positiveky skewed
measures of skewness;
thin end tail to the right part of the curve
positively skewed
measures of skewness;
most of the scores of the students are below the mean
positively skewed
measures of skewness;
tells you only poor performance of takers
positively skewed
measures of skewness;
reason of poor performnace
- ineffective teaching
- student’s unpreparedness
- test item very difficult
- not enough time to answer test
measures of skewness;
skewed to the left
negatively skewed
measures of skewness;
thin end tail of the graph goes to the left part of the curve
negatively skewed
measures of skewness;
most of the scores of the students are above the mean
negatively skewed
measures of skewness;
possible reason of high scores
- students are smart
- enough time to finish exam
- test item are very easy
- effective instruction
- students are prepared for the exam
