Test Design & Construction By Dr.abdul Hussein shaker Habeeb College of Education - University of Kufa Center for Development of Teaching www. Kuiraq.omc/staff/abdlhussain Sunday20/02/2011 Time:11.11:30 Hello to you in the workshop

L00k at this figure what can you see? What does it mean for you? what can you reach at? EVALUATION MEASURMENT TEST

We have three terms 1.Test. 2. Measurement. 3. Evaluation. What is test? What do you mean by test ?How can you define the test? What is the meaning of the test ?

Test: It means an instrument compare between two things in one feature of behavior(Cronbach). Tes t: An instrument or activity used to accumulate data on a person’s ability to perform a specified task. The content of these tests are usually either cognitive, psychomotor (skill), or affective.

Use of Tests 1.Achievement 2. Improvement 3.Diagnosis 4.Prescription 5. Grading 6. Classification 7. Prediction Data: The translation of behavior into a numerical.

MESUREMENT :Is quantification (quantifying abstract mass).It requires two condition:.*. Atool *. Standard. MESUREMENT :The systematic assignment of numerical values (quantitative) or verbal descriptors (qualitative) to the characteristics of objects or individuals

Evaluation :Is collecting data on a certain phenomenon ;Quantifying the data ;Passing judgments ;Modifying the weak points in the phenomenon. Evaluation :The process of passing judgments about the results of measurement.

HOW DO YOU Build Achievement Test First method : Behavioral Objectives method. There are four steps to build achievement Test. 1. Identify aims 2. Translate that aim Into observable and measurable Behavioral Objectives. 3.Reviwing the Behavioral Objective by experts. 4. Identify The content. 5. Set up the items according to Behavioral Objective..

Example: Aim: Student acquisition the concept of the group. Behavioral objectives : We Hope; After the lesson ; The student can. 1. Define “group”. 2. Identify the symbol of “group” 3. Gives an example for a group. 4.Deduce the basic feature of “group”. 5. Compare between a group and non-group. Content:”group”

Items: 1.Define the “group”. 2.The symbol of a group is ………. 3. Give the basic features of a group. 4. Which of the following gatherings is a group. a. Water b. air c. student of second year.

HOW DO YOU Build Achievement Test Second method : There are ten steps to build achievement Test. 1. Identify aims 2. Translate that aim Into observable and measurable Behavioral Objectives. 3. Identify The content. 4. Identify The weigh of the Content. 5. Identify The weigh of the aims. 6. Design The table of specifications. 7. Setup the items according to the test map. 8. Distributing the items according to bloom taxonomy. 9. Arrange the items according to difficulty and simplicity. 10. Set up information of the test.

I will explain the identifying the weigh of the aim. First method: Experts method In the first method the aim must be given to three experts in the area (of the knowledge).They Will be scale the according to(1 ; 2;3);The average of these three values will represent the weigh of the aim. Example: expert1 gives the value 2 expert2 gives the value 3 expert3 gives the value 2 Then; The average will be 2+3+2/3=2.33itis the weigh of aim.

Second method : the weigh of aim can found by the following equations. x 1oo ( w.a=(the number of its b.o/ the total b.o Weigh of the content: The weigh of content can be found by the following equation. W.C=( the number of its pages/the total )x100 Second method :The content could be given to some experts and they asked to suggest the number required hours teaching that content.

The mean of the suggested value will represent the weigh of the content. Example: suppose that: expert1 gives 2hours expert2 gives 3hours expert3 gives 4hours Then; the average will be =2+3+4/3=3 The weigh of content=3

Test map : It is a two dimension matrix show that the relation ship between the content and the outcomes. Horizontal dimension include the aim of the topic(outcomes)while the vertical dimension represent content. The merit of the test map is to satisfy the test validity.

Number ofItemsAims 2 w.a/w.cAim/content 2x2=42group 4sum : Sample of atest map

Distribute the items according bloom taxonomy. The weigh of remember can be found be the following equation: The weigh of remember=(The number of its b.o/the total)x100
