Learning Objectives
Today’s session will cover the
following aspects

3. Why Test is necessary for Assessment?
(Your previous knowledge)

4. What is a Test
 It is a tool with organized questions to collect
information about students learning.
 Test is set of questions asked in specific order. It
is a tool to collect information about students’
learning in quantitative form.

5. Purpose Of Tests
• Monitoring Students’ Progress
• Diagnosing Learning Problems
• Assigning Grades
• Classification and Selection of
Students
• Evaluating Instruction

6. Principles Of Tests
• Clear purpose
• Relevancy
• Clear Language
• Validity and Reliability
• Table Of Specification

7. Test and its Types
Types of test
 Subjective type tests
 Objective type tests
 Multiple choice tests
 Close ended tests
 Matching items tests

8. Taxonomy and Classification of
Educational Objectives
Taxonomy of educational objectives
(three domains )
( I ) The Cognitive (Knowledge)
( ii ) The Affective (Attitude, Values)
( iii ) The Psychomotor (Skills)

9. Writing Cognitive Domain Objectives

10. Bloom’s Revised

12. How to Calculate Test Items in
Cells?
 For example Knowledge has 31% weightage in curriculum. There are 11
items for Geometry in the test (i.e. 34% in curriculum). Then items of
geometry to measure knowledge level of students can be calculated as
 (Number of test items for content strand or Unit)x(knowledge wise
weightage in %)
 = 11x(31/100)

13. SOLO Taxonomy

14. • SOLO: Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes
• Developed by Biggs and Collis (1982)
