IDEAL
QUESTION
 PAPER
Objectives:
• The attributes of a good test

• The steps required to construct a test.
• The necessity of a Blue Print on the design of a test.
• The physical assembling of questions in a paper.
Validity
 Validity of a test is the extent to which it
 measures what it attempts to measure.

Eg- The train starts from New Delhi at 8:10
 hours and reaches Kanpur at 14:30 hours.

 How much time does the train take to reach
 Kanpur from New Delhi?
Validity
All important areas of the course content
       should be covered in the test.

Ensure that questions asked are not out of
                 syllabus.
Reliability

      Clarity in questions, specific and
    unambiguous-eg- how many examples,
                   points etc

Marking scheme must be specific and uniform
Usability
Only when one is careful about:
 Duration of test
 Marking of test
 Clear instructions, guidelines for solving
 Materials required- graph, map, log books
  etc
Planning

   Testing objectives- KUAS

 Weightage to objectives
 Knowledge- 10%
 Understanding- 40%
 Application – 30%
 Skill -20%
   Type of questions:

   Define
   What
   How Many
   Where
   When
   Who
   Type of questions:

How will you-
-compare/distinguish
-classify
-indicate on graph, map, etc
-calculations
   Type of questions:

 Effects   of a phenomenon, property,
    correlating a certain topic to daily life

 Calculations


 Creative   ideas, expressions, thoughts etc
Type of questions:

 Drawing   of diagrams & labelling

 Numeric


 Map   work-drawing
