This document discusses criterion-referenced and norm-referenced evaluation. Criterion-referenced evaluation measures student performance against predetermined learning standards to determine if learning objectives are met, while norm-referenced evaluation compares student performance to others in their grade to determine their achievement relative to peers. Key differences are that criterion-referenced tests focus on specific skills and knowledge, while norm-referenced tests measure broader abilities and rank students.
Reliability refers to the consistency of test scores. A reliable test will produce similar results over multiple test administrations. There are several methods for determining reliability, including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, and split-half reliability. Validity refers to how well a test measures what it intends to measure. Validity can be established through face validity, construct validity, content validity, and criterion validity. Both reliability and validity are important for a high quality test, as a test can be reliable without being valid.
Classroom tests and assessments play a central role in student learning by identifying students' prior knowledge, weaknesses, and strengths to help set learning goals and motivate learning. Effective classroom tests are valid, reliable, and fair, and they provide timely feedback to both students and teachers to check instructional effectiveness, provide learning opportunities, and assess teaching strategy effectiveness.
This document discusses checklists, which are tools used to monitor skills, behaviors, or concepts. Checklists reduce human error by providing a structured format to assess completion of tasks. They typically use a yes/no format to indicate if criteria have been demonstrated. Checklists itemize tasks and provide space to mark their completion to ensure consistency. They are used for observations of individuals, groups, or whole classes and can focus on skills, behaviors, concepts, procedures, or activities. The document outlines best practices for constructing effective checklists, such as highlighting critical tasks and providing clear wording.
The document discusses key concepts related to educational assessment including tests, measurement, evaluation, and different types of assessment. It defines tests as instruments used to measure student performance or traits, and measurement as collecting test score data. Evaluation is interpreting and analyzing measurement data to make judgments. Assessment can be formative (assessment for learning) or summative (assessment of learning) and teachers have different roles in each. Standardized tests differ from teacher-made tests, and assessment serves various instructional purposes like identifying student needs and progress.

Standardized tests are more rigorous and scientifically developed than teacher-made tests. They require a panel of experts including content specialists, test designers, and teachers to plan the test, write items, test the items, and establish validity and reliability through field testing and statistical analysis. The process ensures the tests accurately measure what they aim to without bias. Teacher-made tests are simpler to create by individual teachers and better tied to local classroom needs, but are not as reliable or valid as standardized tests due to less rigorous development and analysis. Both have advantages for different assessment purposes.

This document discusses the key characteristics of a good measuring instrument or test, including validity, reliability, objectivity, norms, and usability. It defines validity as the accuracy with which a test measures what it claims to measure, and describes different types of validity including content validity, criterion-related validity, and construct validity. Reliability is defined as the consistency of measurement and different methods for estimating reliability are outlined. Objectivity refers to eliminating personal bias from scoring. Norms provide average scores for comparison. Usability factors like ease of administration, timing, cost, and scoring are also addressed.
A good test should have the following key characteristics:
1. It should be a valid instrument that accurately measures what it is intended to measure as evidenced by various types of validity like content validity.
2. It should be a reliable instrument that consistently measures constructs and yields similar results over time as determined through methods like test-retest reliability.
3. It should be objective by eliminating personal bias and opinions of scorers so that different scorers arrive at the same score.
The document discusses different aspects of grading systems in education. It defines grading as a process of evaluating student performance on exams using scales with letters or numbers. There are different types of grading systems such as percentage grading from 0-100, letter grading from A-F, norm-referenced grading comparing students, and mastery grading based on attaining a specified level. Direct grading involves directly awarding letter grades without scores while indirect grading uses marks that are then converted to grades. Relative grading compares student performance within a group/class using statistical methods to determine grade ranges, while absolute grading is based on pre-specified standards for performance levels.
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.
1) Instructional objectives provide direction for teaching by clearly stating intended learning outcomes, conveying intent to students and organizations, and providing a basis for evaluation.
2) General instructional objectives are broad goals while specific learning objectives describe observable student behaviors after learning a unit.
3) To write effective objectives, they must be stated as learning outcomes using action verbs, include only one outcome, be at the proper level of generality, and avoid overlapping content. Specific objectives also begin with verbs and relate to their general objective.
This document discusses different types of test scores, including raw scores, percentage scores, derived scores, developmental scores, and scores of relative standing. It provides definitions and examples of various standard scores like z-scores, t-scores, deviation IQ scores, normal curve equivalents, stanines, and percentile ranks. These standard scores transform raw scores into common scales that allow comparison of performance across different tests. The document explains how to calculate and interpret different standard score types.

Chapter one of "Testing in language programs" by James Dean Brown (2005) discusses "Types and uses of language tests". It's about norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests.
The document discusses test measurement, assessment, and evaluation in education. It defines key terms like test, measurement, objective and subjective tests, formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment is used for feedback, while summative assessment evaluates learning at the end of a unit. Evaluation examines overall achievement and can be process-based or examine outcomes. Assessment informs teaching, while evaluation makes judgments about performance and effectiveness.
Achievement tests measure what students have learned after a period of instruction. There are two main types - standardized tests which have uniform procedures and scoring, and teacher-made tests which assess learning in a particular classroom. Standardized tests provide norms and impartial information, while teacher-made tests help evaluate teaching effectiveness but have less accuracy and refinement. Both types of achievement tests are important for measuring student learning outcomes.
The document discusses key concepts related to assessment in education. It defines assessment as a systematic process of gathering and interpreting data on student learning and experience. Assessment methods are used to evaluate student readiness, progress, and needs. The document also categorizes different types of assessment (formative, summative, diagnostic) and discusses validity and reliability in educational assessment. Validity ensures assessment tasks effectively measure student learning, while reliability denotes consistency in assessment results.
Assessment involves gathering and organizing data to make it interpretable. Measurement determines a learner's quantitative achievement in a subject. Evaluation determines the worth or value of measurement results. The most important purpose of measurement and evaluation is for teachers and learners to know how successful teaching and learning have been. Measurement and evaluation functions include determining knowledge, values, skills, and difficulties acquired as well as serving as guides, incentives, and bases for diagnosing needs, effectiveness, and need for reteaching. Types of evaluation are diagnostic, formative, and summative. Tools used include observation, rating scales, checklists, written work, and tests.
This document discusses the history, meaning, definition, characteristics, elements, objectives, and need for evaluation in education. It traces the concept of evaluation to the 1930s as a reaction to narrow testing. Important figures like Tyler, Eurich, and Wrightstone broadened evaluation to include attitudes, interests, thinking, habits, and responsibilities. Evaluation determines the extent to which objectives and goals are achieved through continuous assessment of academic and non-academic subjects to improve the educational process, instruction, and student learning.
There are three main types of evaluation: formative, summative, and diagnostic. Formative evaluation monitors student learning during instruction to provide feedback. Summative evaluation is given at the end of a course to determine if learning objectives were met and assign grades. Diagnostic evaluation is given before instruction to identify student strengths and weaknesses. Evaluations are also categorized based on whether student performance affects others' grades. Criterion-referenced tests measure individual performance against standards, while norm-referenced evaluations compare performance to peers on the same test. Placement evaluation determines student prerequisite skills and best learning approach.
This document discusses the concept of reliability in testing. It provides several definitions of reliability from dictionaries and researchers. Reliability refers to the consistency and repeatability of test results. The document outlines different types of reliability, including test-retest reliability, parallel-form reliability, and internal consistency reliability. It also discusses factors that can affect reliability, such as test length, heterogeneity of scores, difficulty level, test administration, scoring, and the passage of time between test administrations. Controlling for these factors can improve a test's reliability.
This document provides guidance on constructing effective test items. It outlines a 4-step process:
1. Planning - Determine content, objectives, item types, and create a blueprint.
2. Preparing - Write items according to the blueprint. Prepare directions, administration instructions, scoring keys, and an analysis chart.
3. Try-out - Administer a preliminary and final tryout on samples to identify flaws and determine item statistics.
4. Evaluation - Analyze items based on difficulty, discrimination, consistency. Determine validity, reliability, and usability of the final test.
Teacher-made tests are used by teachers to evaluate student progress and understand strengths and weaknesses, while standardized tests are more carefully constructed and scientifically validated to allow student comparison. Some key differences are that teacher-made tests provide immediate feedback but are less reliable, while standardized tests are more valid for comparisons but involve more rigorous development and analysis. Both types of tests have purposes in placement, evaluation, and diagnosing student needs.
The document discusses assessment practices and formative assessment. It provides an overview of assessment types including formative, summative, and diagnostic assessments. Formative assessment identifies student needs, guides ongoing instruction, and provides feedback to improve learning, while summative assessment evaluates learning at the end of a unit. The document emphasizes that formative assessment, when used to adapt teaching to meet student needs, has a strong positive effect on learning.
This document discusses the concept of assessment for learning. It provides definitions of assessment from various scholars that describe assessment as a process for gathering information about student learning to improve instruction and student outcomes. The nature of assessment is described as being embedded in the learning process and closely interconnected with curriculum and instruction. Assessment plays a role in informing teaching, guiding student progress, and checking achievement. It has multiple functions including monitoring progress, decision making, screening, diagnosis, and evaluating instructional programs.
This document discusses authentic assessment, including its meaning, characteristics, and practices. Authentic assessment aims to evaluate students' ability to apply knowledge to real-world tasks, rather than just recall facts. It is characterized by clear performance criteria, emphasis on skills over memorization, and requiring students to demonstrate learning through tasks like projects and portfolios. The document outlines five phases of authentic assessment: identifying outcomes, determining criteria, implementing instruction, measuring performance, and evaluating results for improvement. In contrast to traditional assessment focused on selecting answers, authentic assessment centers on students performing meaningful tasks that simulate real-world challenges.
This document discusses the key characteristics of a good measuring instrument or test, including validity, reliability, objectivity, norms, and usability. It defines validity as the accuracy with which a test measures what it claims to measure, and describes different types of validity including content validity, criterion-related validity, and construct validity. Reliability is defined as the consistency of measurement and different methods for estimating reliability are outlined. Objectivity refers to eliminating personal bias from scoring.

In contrast to traditional assessment focused on selecting answers, authentic assessment centers on students performing meaningful tasks that simulate real-world challenges.
Authentic assessment presents students with real-world challenges that require them to apply relevant skills and knowledge, accurately evaluating what they have learned. It examines students' collective abilities through tasks analogous to adult problems. Examples include performances, portfolios, self-assessments, and projects. Authentic assessment improves teaching and learning by giving students clarity on expectations to master engaging tasks, and helping teachers believe results are meaningful for instruction.
Authentic assessment requires students to apply what they've learned to new situations that mimic real-world challenges. It contrasts with traditional tests that assess isolated skills and facts through multiple choice questions. Authentic tasks are complex, open-ended problems that replicate real-world contexts and constraints. They provide direct evidence of a student's ability to use knowledge and skills effectively. While more valid than traditional tests, authentic assessments may be more difficult for instructors to develop and score.
This chapter discusses how teachers must think like assessors to determine if students have understood the material. It emphasizes using multiple forms of assessment over time, including performance tasks, to gather evidence of understanding. The chapter also covers developing valid rubrics to evaluate student work, with criteria focused on facets of understanding rather than just correctness. Rubrics should be refined based on analyzing student work to ensure they accurately measure understanding.
This document discusses key concepts related to assessment of learning. It defines assessment, measurement, evaluation and testing. It outlines different modes of assessment including traditional, performance, and portfolio assessments. It also discusses types of assessment processes such as diagnostic, formative and summative assessments. Principles of quality assessment are outlined including clarity, appropriateness, validity, reliability, fairness, and practicality. Different methods of developing tests are also discussed such as identifying objectives, determining test type, constructing items, and validating tests.

Discusses the facets of Performance Assessment: Definition, advantages and disadvantages, types, process, guidelines and procedures and the types of rubrics
This document discusses the assessment of practical skills in science. It defines practical skills as those involved in scientific investigation and experimentation. There are several broad stages of experimental work, including problem formulation, experiment design, execution, observation, and data interpretation. Assessment of practical skills is important for several reasons, including defining competencies. Assessment can involve continuous observation by supervisors over time. Practical skills assessed include coordination, manipulation, precision, communication, and creation. Criteria for assessing these skills and converting assessments to grades is also discussed.
The document discusses developing assessment instruments for measuring learner progress and instructional quality. It covers criterion-referenced assessments that measure performance against specific standards or levels. The objectives are to describe criterion-referenced tests and different types of pre- and post-instruction assessments. It also discusses developing quality criterion-referenced test items and assessments of products, performances, and attitudes.
The document discusses developing assessment instruments for measuring learner progress and instructional quality. It describes criterion-referenced assessments that measure performance against specific standards or levels of mastery. The objectives are to describe criterion-referenced tests and how various assessment types (entry tests, pretests, practice tests, posttests) are used. It also discusses developing quality criterion-referenced test items in four categories: goal-centered, learner-centered, context-centered, and assessment-centered.
The document discusses developing criterion-referenced assessments. It explains that criterion-referenced assessments directly measure skills described in behavioral objectives and focus on gauging learner performance and instructional quality. The document provides guidance on writing test items, developing different types of assessments, setting mastery criteria, and ensuring assessments are congruent with objectives and instructional analyses. It emphasizes the importance of criterion-referenced assessments for evaluating both learners and instruction.
The document outlines 9 principles of high quality assessment:
1. Clarity of learning targets - assessments should clearly define what knowledge, skills, and abilities are being measured.
2. Appropriateness of assessment methods - the right methods like written tests, projects, and observations should be used to match the learning targets.
3. Validity, reliability, fairness, positive consequences, practicality/efficiency, and ethics - assessments should have these key properties to be effective and accurate measures of learning.
Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering, analyzing, and reflecting on evidence to make informed and consistent judgments to improve future student learning.
(Victoria State Department, 2017, as cited in Bonito, 2018)
The document discusses authentic assessment and compares it to traditional assessment. It defines authentic assessment as evaluating students' ability to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Some key differences between authentic and traditional assessments highlighted include authentic assessments involving tasks for students to perform while being evaluated using rubrics, and authentic assessments driving the curriculum design rather than just assessing knowledge acquisition. The document also provides guidance on creating authentic assessments, such as identifying standards, selecting authentic tasks, criteria, and using rubrics.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the bodyโs response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
ย
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

What is Performance Test?
๏ง Performance test is concerned with skills outcome.
๏ง Performance tests vary from paper-pencil measures of
performance to samples of actual job performance. As with
other test types, the nature of performance test is
determined primarily by the instructional outcomes to be
measured.
๏ง The quality of every performance test can be enhanced by
following a systematic procedure of test development.

Although measures of knowledge can tell us whether students
know what to do in particular situation, performance test are
needed to assess their actual performance skills.

Courses that require testing of skills.
๏ง Skill in using processes and procedures is a desired
outcome in many academic courses. For e.g. science
courses are concerned with laboratory skills, mathematics
courses are concerned with problem-solving skills, English
and foreign language courses are concerned with
communication skills, social studies courses are concerned
with skills such as map and graph construction and
operating effectively in a group.
๏ง In addition to these academic courses, skills outcome are
also emphasized in art and music courses, industrial
education, business education, agriculture education, home
economics courses, and physical education.

Performance.
It differs from the traditional form of paper-pencil
test by placing greater emphasis on the
application of knowledge and skill in a simulated
setting.
Identification test. ๏ง In simple cases a student maybe asked to
identify a specimen, a tool or an equipment. Also
could be required to write itโs characteristics or
functions respectively.
๏ง In complex cases, the student might be
presented with a particular performance task and
will be asked to identify the tools, equipment, and
procedures needed in the performance task.

Simulated Performance.
Work Sample.
It emphasizes proper procedure. The student is
expected to perform the same motions as those
required in the actual performance of the task,
but the conditions are simulated.
It requires the student to perform actual tasks that
are representatives of the total performance to be
measured under controlled conditions.

Step 1: Specify the performance
outcome to be measured.
Step 2: Select an appropriate degree of
realism.
Step 3: Prepare instructions that clearly
specify the test situation.
Step 4: Prepare the observational form
to be used in evaluating performance.

๏ง Performance objectives of the instructions have been pre-
specified by the action verbs such as identify, construct,
create, demonstrate.
๏ง When the critical elements of the performance have been
identified and specified, desirable performance standards
are set for each task. These standard indicates the
minimum level of performance that is considered
acceptable.

Step 2: Select an appropriate degree of realism.
๏ง The degree of realism selected for a particular test situation
depends on a number of factors.
1. The nature of instructional objectives must be considered.
2. The sequence of instruction within a particular course may
indicate that it would desirable to measure the achievement
using which type of performance test. (it could be paper-
pencil, identification, simulation or work sample)
3. Numerous practical constraints, such as time, cost,
availability of equipments and difficulties in administering
and scoring, may limit the degree of realism.
4. The task may restrict the degree of realism in a test
situation. For e.g. for testing first aid skills it would be
infeasible to use actual patients with the wounds, broken
bones etc.

Step 3: Prepare instructions that clearly specify
the test situation.
๏ง When the test situation has been selected and the specific
task to be performed have been identified, the next step is
to prepare instructions that clearly in simplest terms
describes the test situation.
๏ง These instructions should describe the required
performance and the conditions under which the
performance is to be demonstrated.
๏ง Instructions are usually written so that all individuals are
represented with the same task.
๏ง Carefully specifying the conditions under which examinees
are to perform, and the basis on which their performance
are to be judged increases the likelihood that the test will
be standard for all individuals.

A. Purpose of the test.
B. Equipment and materials.
C. Testing procedure.
๏ Condition of equipment.
๏ Required performance.
๏ Time limits (if any).
D. Method of scoring.

Step 4: Prepare the observational form to be
used in evaluating performance.
โข Procedures and product are evaluated by some type of checklist or
rating scale or product scale.
๏ A product scale is a series of sample products that reflect
different degrees of quality. The procedure involves selecting
sample products representing five to seven levels of quality,
arranging them in order of merit and then assigning numerical
values to the levels. Each studentโs product is then rated by
comparing it to the product scale and determining which quality
level it matches most closely.
๏ The checklist is a list of measurable dimensions of a performance
or product with a place to record โyesโ or โnoโ judgment.
๏ A rating scale is similar to the checklist, but instead of a โyesโ or
โnoโ response it provides an opportunity to mark the degree to
which each dimension is present.
