2.2.1. Introduction-
Teachers construct various tools for the assessment of various traits of their students.
The most commonly used tools constructed by a teacher are the achievement tests. The achievement tests are constructed as per the requirement of a particular class and subject area they teach.
Besides achievement tests, for the assessment of the traits, a teacher observes his students in a classroom, playground and during other co-curricular activities in the school. The social and emotional behavior is also observed by the teacher. All these traits are assessed. For this purpose too, tools like rating scales are constructed.
Evaluation Tools used by the teacher may both be standardized and non-standardised.
A standardized tool is one which got systematically developed norms for a population. It is one in which the procedure, apparatus and scoring have been fixed so that precisely the same test can be given at different time and place as long as it pertains to a similar type of population. The standardized tools are used in order to:
Compare achievements of different skills in different areas
Make comparison between different classes and schools They have norms for the particular population. They are norm referenced.
On the other hand, teachers make tests as per the requirements of a particular class and the subject area they teach. Hence, they are purposive and criterion referenced. They want:
to assess how well students have mastered a unit of instruction;
to determine the extent to which objectives have been achieved;
to determine the basis for assigning course marks and find out how effective their teaching has been.
So our syllabus here revolves around the Tests.

2.2.3-CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD MEASURING INSTRUMENT -
1. VALIDITY-
Any measuring instruments must fulfill certain conditions. This is true in all spheres, including educational evaluation.
Test validity refers to the degree to which a test accurately measures what it claims to measure. It is a critical concept in the field of psychometrics and is essential for ensuring that a test is meaningful and useful for its intended purpose. It is the test is meant to examine the understanding of scientific concept; it should do only that and should not be attended for other abilities such as his style of presentation, sentence patterns or grammatical construction. Validity is specific rather than general criterion of a good test. Validity is a matter of degree. It may be high, moderate or low.
There are several types of validity, each addressing different aspects of the testing process:

The document discusses evaluation and measurement in education. It defines evaluation as determining the extent to which educational objectives are being realized, and notes that evaluation is a continuous process that assesses both academic and non-academic performance to improve student learning. Measurement is defined as assigning a numerical value to assess a characteristic and is used to diagnose student weaknesses, predict performance, and evaluate teaching effectiveness. The document outlines various evaluation techniques, principles, types of validity and reliability in measurement, and distinguishes evaluation from measurement by noting evaluation has a wider scope and judges quality and value while measurement provides quantitative data.
Measurement involves quantifying observations about attributes to make determinations less ambiguous. Evaluation is a process of considering evidence in light of standards and goals. There are various types of evaluation including placement, formative, diagnostic, and summative. Placement evaluation determines students' existing knowledge and skills. Formative evaluation identifies errors and provides feedback during instruction. Diagnostic evaluation detects learning difficulties, while summative evaluation assesses achievement at the end of a period. Evaluation should be based on clear objectives, use appropriate procedures, be comprehensive, continuous, diagnostic, cooperative, and used judiciously to improve the learning process.

Assessment can be formal or informal, formative or summative. Common tests include achievement, diagnostic, placement, and proficiency tests. Principles of good assessment include practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity, and avoiding washback effects.
This document discusses assessment in education. It defines assessment as a systematic process for measuring a learner's progress against defined criteria to make a judgment about their level of achievement. The key purposes of assessment are to enhance student learning and provide feedback to both teachers and students. There are three main types of assessment: diagnostic to identify strengths and weaknesses, summative to evaluate learning at the end, and formative which provides ongoing feedback during learning. For assessment to be effective, it should have validity, reliability, positively impact education, be acceptable, practical, and cost-effective according to the utility formula.

Assessment should take place to ascertain if learning
has occurred.
Assessment should focus on improving and reinforcing
learning as well as measuring achievements.
5. Why Should Assessment
Take Place?
Assessment is a regular process.
Assessment should not be confused with evaluation,
assessment is of the learner, evaluation is of the
programme that the learner is taking.

Concepts of Assessment
8. Concepts of Assessment
You need to be accountable to your
learners to ensure you are carrying
out your role as an assessor
correctly.
Following the assessment strategy for
your subject will ensure you are
carrying out your role correctly and
holding or working towards the
required assessor qualifications.
Analyse achievement data and
compare this to national or
organisational targets.
Benchmarking involves comparing
what is the accepted standard for a
particular subject area against the
current position of your own
learners’ performance.

9. Evaluation of the assessment process should always take place to inform current and
future practice.
Internally devised assessments might be produced by you or other staff at your
organisation such as: assignments, projects or questions which will also be marked
by you.
Concepts of Assessment
Externally devised assessments are usually produced by an awarding organisation,
for example, an examination.

Internally or Externally Assessments
10. Progression should be taken into account when
assessing learners.
To assist transparency, you need to ensure that
everyone who is involved in the assessment
process clearly understands what is expected
and can see there is nothing untoward taking
place.
Types of assessment include initial, formative,
and summative as well as diagnostic tests which
ascertain a learner’s current knowledge and
experience.
Progression
Transparency
Types of Assessment
12. Principles are how the assessment process
is put into practice, for example, being:
ethical: the methods used are right and
proper for what is being assessed and the
context of assessment.
Principle
13. safe: the learner’s work can be confirmed as valid and authentic.
fair: the methods used are appropriate to all learners at the required
level, taking into account any particular needs. All learners should
have an equal chance of an accurate assessment decision.
14. Two important principles in
assessment.
1. VARCS
Valid – the work is relevant to what has been assessed and is at
the right level.
Authentic – the work has been produced solely by the learner.
Reliable – the work is consistent over time.
Current – the work is still relevant at the time of assessment.
Sufficient – the work covers all of the requirements at the time.
15. continued
2. SMART
Specific – the activity relates only to what is being assessed and is clearly
stated.
Measurable – the activity can be measured against the assessment
requirements, allowing any gaps to be identified.
Achievable – the activity can be achieved at the right level.
Relevant – the activity is suitable and realistic, relates to what is being
assessed and will give consistent results.
Time bound – target dates and times are agreed
16. Five principles in assessment
(Brown, 2004)
1. Practicality
2. Reliability
3. Validity
4. Authenticity
5. Washback
17. Practicality
It is not excessively expensive
It stays within appropriate time constraints
It is relatively easy to administer
It has a scoring/evaluation procedure that is specific and time-efficient
An effective test is practical. This means:
18. Reliability
A reliable test is consistent and dependable
Brown and Abeywickrama(2010)have summarized the feature of
this principle as follows: a reliable test
● is consistent in its conditions across two or more
administrations
● Provide clear instructions for evaluation
● Has consistent rubrics for scoring
● Helps assessor consistently apply these rubrics
● Contains test taker-specific items / tasks
19. Validity
Validity has been explained by Brown and Abeywickrama(2010)as
follows: a valid test
● measures exactly what it proposes to measure
● does not measure irrelevant or“contaminating”variables
● relies as much as possible on empirical evidence(performance)
● includes performance that samples the test’s criterion(objective)
● provides useful, meaningful information about a test-taker’s skills
● is supported by a theoretical rationale or argument
20. Authenticity
Bachman and Palmer (1996) define authenticity as the degree of
correspondence of the characteristic of a given language test task to the
features of a targets language task.
in a test, authenticity may be present in the following ways:
a. The language in the test is as natural as possible
b. items are contextualized rather than isolated
c. Topics are meaningful (relevant, interesting) for the learners
d. Some thematic organization to items is provided, such as through a
storyline or episode
e. Tasks represent or closely approximate, real-world tasks.
21. Washback is includes the effects of an assessment on
teaching and learning prior to the assessment itself, that is, on
preparation for the assessment. Informal performance
assessment is by nature more likely to have built-in washback
effects because the teacher in usually providing interactive
feedback. Formal tests can also have positive washback, but they
provide no washback if the students receive a simple letter grade
or a single overall numerical score.
is the effect of testing on teaching and learning (Hughes,2003)
Washback
23. The five principles of practicallity , reliability,
validity, authenticity, and washback go along way
toward providing useful guidelines for both
evaluating and existing assessment procedure and
designing one on our own. Quizes, tests, final
exams, and standardized proficiency test can all be
scrutinized through these five lense.
24. Practicality Checklist :
1. are administrative details clearly established before the test?
2. can students complete the test reasonably within the set time
frame?
3. can the test be administered smoothly, without procedural
“glitches’?
4. are all materials and equipment ready?
5. is the cost of the test within budgeted limits?
6. is the scoring system feasible in the teachers’ time frame?
7. are methods for reporting results determined in advance?
Are the test procedures practical?
25. Test and test administration reliability can be achieved by making
sure that all students receive same quality of input in written and
auditory. Here are some checklists that must be checked in the test
❏ every students has a cleanly photocopied test sheet
❏ sound amplification in clearly audible to everyone in the room
❏ video input is equally visible to all
❏ lighting, temperature, extraneous noise, and other classroom
conditions are equal for all students
❏ objective scoring procedures leave little debate about
correctness of an answer.
Is the test reliable?
26. Does the procedure
demonstrate content
validity?
1. Are classroom objectives
identified and appropriately
framed?
2. Are lesson objectives represented
in the form of test specifications?
27. Is the procedure face valid and
“biased for best”?
1. Directions are clear
2. The structure of the test is organized logically
3. Its difficulty level is appropriate pitched
4. The test has no "surprises"
5. Timing is appropriate
Students will generally judge a test to be face valid if;
28. Is the procedure face valid and
“biased for best”?
1. Offers students appropriate review and preparation for the test.
2. Suggests strategies that will be beneficial,
3. Structures the test so that the best students will be modestly
challenged and the weaker students will not be overwhelmed.
According to swain (1984), to give an assessment procedure
that is "biased for best," a teacher;
29. Are the test task as authentic as
possible?
1. Is the language in the test as natural possible?
2. Are topics and situations interesting, enjoyable, and/or
humorous?
3. Do task represent, or closely approximate, real-world task?
Evaluate the extent to which in a test is authentic by asking the
following questions:
30. Does the test offer beneficial
washback to the learner?
The design of an effective test should point the way to
beneficial washback.
31. • Carry out assessments according to the qualification requirements being
assessed
• attending meetings
• negotiating and agreeing assessment plans
• making best use of different assessment types and methods
• reviewing learner progress
• standardising practice with other assessors
Role and Responsibilities of an Assessor
The main role are about:
Some responsibilities may includes
32. continued
• completing and maintaining records
• giving constructive and developmental feedback to learners
• identifying and dealing with any barriers to fair assessment
• making judgments and decisions based on the assessment requirements
• supporting learners with special assessment requirements
Some responsibilities may includes
33. The role as an assessor will
also be to inspire and motivate
learners. If the assessor
enthusiastic and passionate
about subjects, this will help
to encourage and challenge
learners
