2. TEST &
MEASUREMENT

3.  Test may be called as tool, a question, set of
question, an examination which is used to
measure a particular characteristic of an
or a group of individuals.
 Test is the form of questioning or measuring tool
used to access the status of one’s skill,

DEFINE TEST & MEASUREMENT

4.  TEST: An instrument or activity used to
accumulate data on a person’s ability to
performed a specified task.
 It is an assessment intended to measure a
test-taker’s knowledge, skill, aptitude,
performance, or classification in many other
topics.

5.  Measurement – process of collecting data on
attribute of interest.
 Measurement is an act or process that
involves the assignment of numerical values
to whatever is being tested. So it involves the
quantity of something

6.  Measurement is the term used to describe the
assignment of a number to a given assessment.
The number can be a raw score or a score based
on a normal distribution curve. The process of
quantifying this number is separate from using
this information to evaluate student outcomes
and achievement.

7.  Objective Test
 Subjective Test
 Individual Test
 Group Test
 Unstandardized Test
 Standardized Test
KINDS OF TEST

8.  Objective Test- it is a test paper and pencil test
where in students’ answers can be compared and
quantified to yield a numerical score. This is because
it requires convergent and specific response.
 Subjective Test- it is a paper and pencil test which is
not easily quantified as students are given the
freedom to write their answer to a question, such as
an essay test. Thus, the answer to this type of test is
divergent.

9.  Individual Test- it is a test administrated to
one student at a time.
 Group Test- it is one administrated to a
group of students.
 Unstandardized Test- it is one prepared by
teachers for use in the classroom, with no
established norms for scoring and
interpretation of results.

10.  Standardized Test- it is a test prepared by an
expert or specialist. This type of test samples
behavior under uniform procedures.

11.  For getting knowledge about the progress.
 For preparation of effective planning.
 For knowing the abilities and capacities.
 For giving motivation.
 For knowing the achievements in future.
 For research and experimentations.
PURPOSE OF TEST &
MEASUREMENT

13.  Assessment is the process of documenting, usually in
measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and
beliefs.
 Assessment in education is the process of gathering,
interpreting, recording & using information about
pupils’ responses to an educational task.
(Harlen, Gipps, Broadfoot, Nuttal, 1992)
WHAT IS ASSESSMENT?

14.  Assessment can focus on the individual learner, the
learning community( class, workshop, or other
organized group of learners), the institution, or the
educational system.
 The process of gathering quantitative and qualitative
data of what a student can do, and how much a
student possesses.

15.  Formal Assessment
 Informal Assessment
 Formative Assessment
 Summative Assessment
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT

16.  Formal assessments have data which support the
conclusions made from the test. We usually refer to these
types of tests as standardized measure.
 The data is mathematically computed and summarized.
Scores such as percentiles, stanines, or standard scores
are mostly commonly given from this type of assessment.
FORMAL ASSESSMENT

17.  Informal assessments are not data driven but rather
content and performance driven. For example,
running records are informal assessments because
they indicate how well a student is reading a
specific book. Scores such as 10 correct out of 15,
percent of words read correctly, and most rubric
scores are given from this type of assessment.
INFORMAL ASSESSMENT

18.  “A diagnostic use of assessment to provide
feedback to teachers and students over the course
of instruction.” --- Carol Boston
 Gathering of data during a time program is being
develop. This is likewise provide feedback for the
improvement of an instruction or for the
improvement of the program.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

19.  Administrated at the end of the day’s lesson.
 The goal of formative assessment is to monitor
students learning to provide ongoing feedback that
can be used by instructors to improve their teaching
and by students to improve their learning.

20.  Determines whether the teacher delivers
quality instruction in a particular day-base on
the particular result.

21.  “A summative assessment is one attempts to assess
student learning for a specific time period. For example, a
unit test would be a summative assessment.” --- Eden
Ralph
 Use to determine the mastery & achievement of the
student.
 Done usually at the end of a chapter or unit.
 Accountability of success or failure.
 Use primarily in assigning grades.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

22.  Designed to determine the extent to which the
instructional objectives has been achieved
 The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate
student learning at the end of an instructional unit by
comparing it against some standard or benchmark.

23.  To diagnose students’ strengths and
weaknesses.
 To assign grades.
 To determine the teachers’ effectiveness.
 To monitor students’ progress.
 To help evaluate teachers.

25.  Evaluation is concerned with a whole range of issues
in and beyond education; lessons, programs, and
skills can be evaluated. It produce a global view of
achievements usually based on many different types
of information such as observation of lessons, test
scores, assessment reports, course documents or
interviews with students and teachers.
WHAT IS EVALUATION?

about one’s work or a whole school work

 Evaluation is a process of determining to what
extend the educational objectives are being
realized --- Ralph Taylor

progress towards purposes, objectives, or outcomes to
improve the activities, courses, curriculum, program or
teaching and student.
 It is also known as formative evaluation.
PROCESS EVALUATION

29.  Product evaluations examines the effects of
outcomes of some object.

 It is also known as summative evaluation. It
evaluates the progress towards an established
outcomes.

30. PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
 Clarify and define objectives.
 Facilitate the improvement program.
 Motivate Participants.
