Subjective tests assess students' ability to produce, integrate, and express ideas through open-ended questions. They include short answer questions, which require a word or brief response, and essays, which require longer written answers. While easy to construct and score, short answer questions may only measure lower-level thinking and allow for memorized responses. Essays can measure complex thinking but are more difficult to score reliably. When constructing subjective tests, questions should not be taken directly from materials, provide clues, have clear scoring rubrics, and cover a range of cognitive levels and content.

Norm referenced and Criterion Referenced TestDrSindhuAlmas
The document discusses criterion-referenced tests (CRT) and norm-referenced tests (NRT). CRTs measure student performance against a predetermined standard or criteria, such as achieving a certain score. NRTs compare student performance to other students in a norming group. CRTs are used to assess student mastery of specific standards and guide instruction, while NRTs rank students and are used for grouping, admissions, and identifying learning disabilities. The key difference is that CRTs measure performance against a fixed standard, while NRTs measure performance relative to other students.

Activity based curriculum (Design/Model) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og8...Tasneem Ahmad
An activity-based curriculum is centered around using activities as the primary means for students to learn. It focuses on active, hands-on learning rather than passive reception of information. The key principles are that learning should be based on experiments and activities that engage students directly, as children learn best through doing rather than just listening. The role of the teacher is to guide students and help them select and analyze activities, acting as a facilitator rather than lecturer. Proponents argue this makes learning more engaging, memorable and empowering for students. However, critics note it is a radical departure from tradition and may not ensure retention of facts or cultural heritage.
The document discusses the definition and components of curriculum design, including the types of curriculum designs, elements such as objectives, content, and learning experiences. It also examines different philosophies that influence curriculum as well as domains and taxonomies for defining objectives and evaluating learning outcomes.

This includes the process how you can construct a test for academic achievement of the students. Characteristics, principles, types, steps all are discussed here. Calculation of weightage and difficulty level and also making of blue print is also included.
Evaluation is important for teachers, supervisors, and administrators to guide teaching and learning and develop effective instructional materials and procedures. It also helps measure the validity and reliability of instruction, stimulates students to study, identifies student needs, enforces standards, fosters parent-teacher cooperation, and helps parents understand student growth. Evaluation additionally supports teachers and secures government support for schools.
Validity refers to whether a test measures what it intends to measure. There are several types of validity including content, construct, criterion-related (concurrent and predictive), and face validity. Objectivity means the degree to which different scorers arrive at the same score and is important for validity and reliability. Ensuring objectivity in test construction and scoring can help reduce bias.
A standardized test is any test where all test takers answer the same questions in a consistent manner that is scored uniformly. There are two main types - norm-referenced tests compare performance to others, while criterion-referenced tests assess performance against a set of objectives. Standardized tests can measure achievement, aptitude, or be used for college admissions. Scores are reported using raw scores, percentiles, or stanines.
