CONSTRUCTING TEST
Topic
Introduction
The evaluation of pupils progress is a major aspect of the teachers job.
(Oriondo & Antonio)
While we are all familiar with what it is like to take a test, few of us have
ever actually designed a test. This is an important skill for teachers to have,
because a well-constructed test can be an accurate barometer of what students
have learned and can facilitate further learning.
The Purpose of Testing
To provide a record for assigning grades.
To provide a learning experience for students.
To motivate students to learn.
To serve as a guide for further study.
To assess how well students are achieving the stated goals of the lesson.
To provide the instructor with an opportunity to reinforce the stated
objectives and highlight what is important for students to remember.
Characteristics of Good Tests
Validity the extent to which the test measures what it intends to
measure.
Reliability the consistency with which a test measures what it is
supposed to measure.
Usability the test can be administered with ease, clarity and uniformity.
Scorability easy to score.
Interpretability test results can be properly interpreted and is a major
basis in making sound educational decisions.
Economical the test can be reused without compromising the validity
and reliability.

The difference between school and life? In school,
you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test
that teaches you a lesson. Tom Bodett
