Test
Identify the term: a device to gather information needed for evaluation
Test
Identify the term: set of questions or exercises to evaluate students’ skills and knowledge
Test

Test
Identify the term: determine if the set objectives for a course are achieved
Test
Identify the term: determine the academic progress of the students
Test
Identify the term: can reveal the problem or difficulty areas of the students
Test
Identify the term: used to predict outcomes
Test
Enumerate the steps in constructing a test
- Determine the purpose of the test
- Identify the learning outcomes to be measured in terms of specific, observable behavior
- Outline the topics to be measured
- Prepare a table of specifications as a basis for preparing a test
- Determine the type of test
- Determine the length of the test
Identify the term: two-way design to outline the content coverage of a test
TOS
Identify the term: consists of the abilities to be developed or the process objectives and the topics to be covered or the content areas in a test
TOS
Identify the term: contains the numbers of test items in each of the content areas and process objectives
TOS
Identify the term: process objectives are the behavioral objectives of the cognitive domains
TOS
Framework of the test is based on the _____
Cognitive behaviors in the Bloom’s taxonomy
Enumerate the purpose of TOS
- Guide for teachers to translate their instructional objectives, the cognitive level of instruction, and the adequacy of the test to be assessed
- Guide to the item construction on the relative importance of each component and each level of the cognitive domain
- Improves the validity of the teachers’ evaluation based on a given assessment
- Useful for teachers to support their proficient judgment in creating a test
- Provides a framework for organizing information
Identify the step in constructing a TOS: professional decision of the teacher based on the learning outcomes, time allocation, and importance of testing
Determine the desired number of items
Identify the step in constructing a TOS: determine the most essential topics of the course
List the topics with corresponding allocation of time
Identify the step in constructing a TOS: area emphasizes during teaching should have more items
List the topics with corresponding allocation of time
Identify the step in constructing a TOS: area with the longest time consumed during teaching should have more items
Determine the length of time spent in teaching for each essential topic
Identify the step in constructing a TOS: distribution of the number of items in each cell is based on the emphasis and the importance of the topics discussed
Determine the total number of items per topic
Identify the step in constructing a TOS: weights may vary depending on the learning outcomes to be assessed
Determine the percentage allocation per domain
T/F: there should be no minor knowledge (too basic) in the TOS
F
T/F: there should be synthesis and evaluation (too complete)
T
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: item should directly correspond to the intended behavioral outcome/objective
Objective-item correspondence
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: correct responses to an item constitute sufficient evidence for the intended behavior outcome
Item sufficiency
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: an item should communicate with the test takers
Item must be free from ambiguity as possible
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: the test developer and test taker must have the same interpretation of the item
Items must be free from ambiguity as possible
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: should be balanced by including items from all the levels of continuum
Item difficulty
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: measurement of higher-order outcomes or the ability to apply principles
Item novelty
Identify the guideline for developing different types of items: write items to measure what students know and not an item that is unfamiliar to the students or topic that was not previously encountered
Item novelty
_____ can ensure balanced in time in answering the achievement test
Distribution of time for each type
Estimated time for simple true or false questions
15-30s
