UNIT- 4: EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION (8602)

                                                                                  UNIT: 4 TYPES OF TESTS Classroom tests play a central role in the assessment of student learning. Tests provide  relevant measures of many important learning outcomes and indirect evidence concerning  others. They make expected learning outcomes explicit to students and parents and show  what types of performance are valued. The validity of the information they provide,  however, depends on the care that goes into the planning and preparation of tests. The  main goal of classroom testing is to obtain valid, reliable and useful information  concerning assessment. This requires determining what is to be measured and then  definin...

UNIT–3: EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION (8602)

UNIT–3 TYPES OF ASSESSMENT TESTS AND TECHNIQUES INTRODUCTION Classroom assessment, involves students and teachers in the continuous monitoring of  students' learning. It provides faculty with feedback about their effectiveness as teachers,  and it gives students a measure of their progress as learners. Most important, because  classroom assessments are created, administered, and analyzed by teachers themselves on  questions of teaching and learning that are important to them, the likelihood that  instructors will apply the results of the assessment to their own teaching is greatly  enhances. The classroom assessment process assumes that students need to receive  feedback early and often, that they need to evaluate the quality of their own learning, and  that they can help the teacher improve the strength of instruction. Assessment is integral  to the teaching–learning process, facilitating student learning and improving instruction,...

UNIT # 02 EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION (8602)

                                                                                  UNIT # 02  OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION Objectives are the desired outcomes of an effort. Guided by these specific objectives instructional activities are designed and subsequently assessment is carried out through different methods. The objective are key components for developing a test and guiding principles for assessment.   Bloom’s taxonomy provides a useful way of describing the complexity of an objective by classifying into one of the hierarchical categories from simplest to complex. Therefore, the process of developing a test should begin with the identification of content domain at first stage and development of table of specificatio...

(Unit -1) EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION (8602)

(Unit -1) MEASUREMENT, ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION Concept of Measurement, Assessment and Evaluation Despite their significant role in education the terms measurement, assessment, and evaluation are usually confused with each other. Mostly people use these terms interchangeably and feel it very difficult to explain the differences among them.  Each of these terms has a specific meaning sharply distinguished from the others. Measurement In general, the term measurement is used to determine the attributes or dimensions of object.  For example, we measure an object to know how big, tall or heavy it is. Measurement is normally shown by using numbers.  For example, measuring a box, or weighing it. Measurement is always with reference to some scale.   In educational perspective measurement refers to the process of obtaining a numerical description of a student’s progress towards a pre-determined goal.  This process provides the information regarding how mu...
