LESSON 2 - PART 1 Flashcards
- are quantifiable phrases that indicate what students will be able to perform when they have completed the course.
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
- The most crucial phase in the creation of a test . The test constructor must plan carefully because the success of the test is dependent on it.
DESIGN
- Helps to find out the weakness and strength of the test; to relate the question paper with the blueprint.
QUESTION-WISE ANALYSIS
- Helps to bring out any replication, spelling errors, ambiguities in the paper.
- A qualitative and quantitative assessment of the test must be done.
CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE TEST
Assessment is today’s means of modifying tomorrow’s instruction.
- Carol Ann Tomlinson
- Enables the teacher to determine the difficulty value of each item; the discriminating power of each item; and the effectiveness of distracters in the given item.
THE TEST ITEM ANALYSIS
- It is open-ended questions that require pupils to generate a response are known as
short-answer questions
short-answer questions Its response can be a __________________, but it must perfectly match one of the accepted options.
single word or a phrase
How to write a desirable question item?

- Don’t remove out so many words that the phrase loses its intended meaning.
- Keep away from clear clues to the correct answer.
- Make sure there is one correct answer.
- Place the blank at the end of a sentence rather than at the start.
What are the advantages of short answer test?
- It limits guessing.
- It is easier to construct than the other type of test.
- It encourages intensive study.
What are the examples of Short Answer response?
- Definition of concept learned.
- Explanation questions.
- Relationship questions.
- Calculation questions.
What are the disadvantages of short answer test?
- It is challenging to assess higher levels of learning.
- It may overemphasize the memorization of facts.
- It is difficult to score.
- It may encounter multiple possible correct answers if not constructed well.
- It is not communicative.
- Using heterogenous material must be avoided in matching exercise.
CONSTRUCTION OF MATCHING TYPE
CONSTRUCTION OF MATCHING TYPE
- Each category must be
grammatically consistent.
CONSTRUCTION OF MATCHING TYPE
- The item column must be placed at the ______or Column A and the option Column at the ______or Column B.
left ,right
CONSTRUCTION OF MATCHING TYPE
* Be sure each item has a pair in the option column
* The ideal number of items is __________ and maximum of 15
5 to 10
- The directions of the test should clearly indicate what has to be identified, like persons, instruments, dates, events, and the steps in a process and formula.
CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTIFICATION ITEMS
- Avoid using direct statements from the textbook with a word or two missing.

- Avoid trick statement with some minor misleading word or spelling anomaly, misplaced phrases, etc.
- Avoid quoting verbatim from reference materials or textbooks.
- Avoid specific determiners or give-away qualifiers.
- Avoid a grossly disproportionate number of either true or false statement or even patterns in the occurrence of true and false statement.
CONSTRUCTION OF TRUE OR FALSE
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF TEST
- Measure all instructional objectives
- Cover all learning task
- Use appropriate test items
- Make test valid and reliable
- Used test to improve learning
