II- Think about It

Direction: Trace the history of the testing, measurement and evaluation. You can present it using graphic
organizer. Use a separate sheet if necessary.

HISTORY OF
Most learning at the Academy was in the form of dialogues, rather than lectures–
387 BCE: Plato or other senior members of the Academy posed philosophical problems for
Plato’s Academy students to resolve via discussion. A dialogue with Plato might be intimidating but on
the plus side, no cramming required.

SATs, MCATs, LSATs, GMATs, GREs: standardized testing holds the key to
605 CE: Standardized
countless academic and professional spheres, just like in first-century China, where
Testing Begins the civil service was the gateway to riches and social advancement. Written exams
proved whether you would be able to advance into leadership positions, and barriers
were high without wealth or privilege.

Starting with the University of Bologna in 1088, medieval European universities

 Invented in the early 1970s, Scantron soon became ubiquitous. The basic technology
that allows machines to accurately read standardized multiple-choice forms is called
1972: optical mark recognition, and dates to the 1930s, but Scantron brought it to the mass
Scantron market. While it made life easier for teachers, it came in to criticism for helping to
change the nature of testing itself, especially encouraging fewer essays and short
answer questions, replacing them with more multiple-choice queries rewarding rote
memorization.

When Turnitin was first introduced, it was marketed as a solution to the problem of
plagiarized essays and other writing. The software compares submitted papers to
1997: databases containing a vast assortment of scholarly and popular works, to identify
Turnitin instances of plagiarism. It was subsequently criticized for problems with accuracy and
seizing students’ intellectual property, incorporating submitted papers into its ever-
growing databases.

Forget Scantron—now even essays can be graded by computer algorithms. (Sort of.)
Robo-scoring software doesn’t actually “read” essays, but compares dozens of
features—from sentence structure to paragraph flow—to examples of “good” writing.
Research has found that some robo-scoring programs evaluate some students more
harshly, thanks to a focus on metrics like spelling and grammar. That means students
1999: Essays Graded by whose first language isn’t English, or who have learning disabilities, are at a
Algorithm disadvantage they may not face if an actual professor were analyzing the quality of
their thinking. Which leads to the biggest criticism: they just aren’t very good at
analyzing writing. MIT researcher Les Perelman has even developed a “Basic
 HISTORY OF MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION
Development of Intelligence Test
Intelligence test was developed in Germany, England, France and America.
1) Germany and Experimental Psychology
1879 - the 1st psychological laboratory was established in Leipzig, Germany by Welhelm Wundth. The problems
studied were on sensitivity to visual, auditory and other sensory stimuli and these sensory phenomenon were
reflected in the 1st psychological test.
1855 - Herman Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist and founder of quantitative study of memory published
memory experiments. (arithmetic computation school, memory span and sentence completion to children).
1894 - German psychologists Kroeplen and Sommer, contributed the development of free-association tests.
1912 - William Stern pioneered the differential psychology the differential psychology. He dealt with differences
among individuals in various psychological traits.
MQ = MA / CA
IQ = MA /CA – Lewis M. Terman
2) England and Statistical Methods
1879 - Francis Galton, an English scientist, was the originator of the questionnaire method theory of eugenics
(deals w/improvement of hereditary qualities) He invented statistical and experimental methods and suggested a
graphical method of representing correlation.
1855 - Galton published a paper called “Regression towards Mediocrity in Heredity Stature” – (predicting physical
characteristics of their parents).
Karl Pearson (Galton’s student) and Carl Spearman – developed the science of statistics.
*Pearson product moment coefficient of correlation
*Spearman rank correlation coefficient/ spearman rho
*Spearman- Brown Formula
3) France and Abnormal Psychology
1838 - Esquirol, a French physician, distinguished levels of imbecility and idiocy individual’s use of language. He
pointed out the individual’s use of language provided the most dependable criterion for gauging the intelligence
levels. e.g. Peabody Vocabulary and Stanford Binet Tests.
Seguin – a French physician contributed significantly to the training of the feeble-minded (mentally deficient).
Seguin Form Board Test – devised for sensory motor training of mentally defectives. (board consist with 10 holes
of different shapes)
Alfred Binet – a French psychologist developed the extensively used test of intelligence and whose thinking was
influence by the early psychophysicists.

level of three months.
1916 - Lewis M. Terman of Standford University, made a thorough revision of Binet Scale.
- Standford-Binet /Stanford Revision was published.
- IQ - Intelligence Quotient was first used.
1937 - the second Stanford revision was printed consisting of two equivalent forms L and M by Terman & Mervill
1960 - third revision, provided a single form (L-M)
1939 - Wechsler, published Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). This scale is widely used of verbal and
non-verbal intelligence. (16-75 years old). (1955 2nd edition)
- Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), adaptation of the Adult Scale for children from 5-15 years
old.
1960 - C. Safran, published another intelligence test known as Safran Culture-reduced Intelligence Test (SCRIT).
This test consists of 36 items applicable to children from 7-12 years of age.
35 and above - intellectual advance
24-34 - above average
18-23 - average
18 below - intellectually retarded
Development of Achievement Test

disadvantages of the oral examination.
1864 – Rev. George Fisher, an English school master, devised and utilized the first objective measures of
achievement. Scale Book- for measuring the learners’ achievement in school subjects was the predecessors of
the modern day proficiency scales in hand writing, spelling, grammar and composition.
1894 - he administered a list of spelling words and subsequently used these test in other areas to measure
differences between groups of learners who were taught differently.
1908 – Cliff W. Stone, published the first standardized achievement test in Arithmetic, (Stone Arithmetic Test).

system again for three school years.
April 23, 1978 – the first Professional Board Examinations for Teachers (PBET) has been administered pursuant
to Presidential Decree No. 1006.
PBET – has been administered by the Civil Service Commission and Department of Education Culture and
Sports.
November 1995 – the last administration of PBET.
Professional Licensure Examination for Teachers (PLET) given by the Professional Regulation Commission
(PRC) was the successor of PBET by virtue of Republic Act 7836 known as Professional Teachers
Professionalization Act of 1994.

LET – Licensure Examination for Teachers -The LET was implemented in the Philippines through the enactment
of Republic Act 7836 or otherwise known as the “Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994” on
December 16, 1994. The enactment of the law didn’t mean that the teachers in the Philippines were not
“professional”. Rather it is a means to strengthen and improve not just the teachers, but also the quality of
education and the whole education system in general. By improving the teachers, the students will naturally follow
the embitterment of those who lead them. Before R.A. 7836 was implemented, education in the Philippines was
 mostly regulated and supervised by the National Board for Teachers (NBT). Even though R.A. 7836 was signed
as law in 1994, the first LET exam was held two years later. On August 1996, a total of 97,560 examinees took
the first LET exam administered by both the Board for Professional Teachers (BPT) and the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC).
BLEPT – Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teacher

baccalaureate course in any public and private institutions of higher learning.
September 2, 1993 – the last administration of NCEE.
NSAT (National Secondary Assessment Test) is the successor of NCEE per DECS Order No. 31, s 1993, dated
May 21, 1993. The results of the NSAT was transmuted into percentage grades and should be given an
equivalent of 1/5th of the general average of each subject are in English, Filipino, Mathematics and Science &
Technology.

NCAE – National Career Assessment Examination - The NCAE was developed to improve the quality of
secondary education graduates entering college. It aims to maintain the highest quality of education in the
Philippines by leading the flow of students to courses in post-secondary institutions of learning matching their
aptitude to promote national development.

V. Formative Test
Direction: Define and explain briefly the following terms:

1. Formative Assessment
Formative assessment is a range of formal and informal assessment procedures conducted by
teachers during the learning process in order to modify teaching and learning activities, and to improve
student attainment.

2. Summative Assessment
Summative assessment is conducted after instruction or at the end of a unit or module in order to
assess whether the learning objectives have been attained by the students.

3. Personality Test
 Personality test is a set of techniques or tools that is administered to an individual to measure and
identify his/her personality. It makes use ambiguous stimuli that assesses a person’s unconscious fears,
desires, and challenges. In a classroom with diversed types of personality, this test allows the teachers to
identify how his/her students may behave relative to the learning process.

4. Achievement Test
Achievement test is designed to quantify the overall academic attainment and skill acquisition of
the students over a period of time. This is the basis upon which the students are assessed whether they
are qualified enough to proceed to another educational level. Academic tests are also good indicators of
teacher efficacy and efficiency in maneuvering their respective subjects.
