Data: The translation of behavior into a numerical

or verbal descriptor which is then recorded in

(behavior).

Discussion: Is a test “good” if everyone/anyone scores

0%?

Measurement
A measurement takes place when a “test” is given and a

“score” is obtained.
If the test collects quantitative data, the score is a
number.
If the test collects qualitative data, the score may be a
phrase or word such as “excellent.”

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Assessment
Assessment-The goal of assessment is to make

improvements, as opposed to simply being judged.
In an educational context, assessment is the
process
of
describing,
collecting,
recording, scoring, and interpreting information
about learning.

in the testing, this also means to use the
instrument correctly.

Considerations When Taking Measurements
Remember that you are measuring a characteristic of

the person—you are not measuring the person
themselves; thus, make no judgments about the person.
Make no comical remarks regarding the collected data.
Have a high ethical standards when collecting the data.
Be professional.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Subjective vs. Objective Measurement
A subjective measurement is one that can possibly be

interpreted differently.

An objective measurement is one that cannot be

interpreted differently because of numerical values.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Evaluation
Definition 1: Evaluation is the systematic process of

collecting and analyzing data in order to determine
whether and to what degree objectives have been or are
being, achieved.

Definition 2: The process of obtaining information (data)

and using it to form judgments, which in turn are used in
decision making.

4.
5.

Define the objective or the purpose of the test.
Measure the performance or administer the test.
Find or develop a standard.
Compare a person’s performance on the test to a
standard.
Make the evaluation then discuss and distribute the
results in the most appropriate manner.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Formative & Summative Evaluation
Formative evaluation: A formative evaluation is a method for

judging the worth of a program while the program activities
are forming (in progress). This part of the evaluation focuses
on the process

Summative evaluation: A summative evaluation (sometimes

referred to as external) is a method of judging the worth of a
program at the end of the program activities (summation).
The focus is on the outcome.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Types of Evaluation
Student Evaluation
Curriculum Evaluation
School Evaluation
Program/Project Evaluation
Staff Evaluation

Phases of Evaluation

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Goals and Objectives
Goals are general statements of purpose or desired

outcomes and are not as such directly measurable;
each goal must be translated into one or more specific
objectives.
Objectives are specific statements of what is to be
accomplished and how well and are expressed in
terms of quantifiable, measurable outcomes.
objectives give direction to all subsequent activities.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Norms
Evaluations are often based on norms:
Something that is usual, typical, or standard.
A standard or pattern, esp. of social behavior, that is

typical or expected of a group: "the norms of good behavior
in the civil service".

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Reliability
Reliability defined as the consistency of an

individual when repeatedly performing the same
test.
Example: If a group of people take the same test on
two different days, the scores obtained should be
approximately the same.
A reliable test will yield data that are stable,
repeatable, and precise.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Validity
The most important characteristic to a test or

measuring instrument.
The validity of each test can only be evaluated in
terms of a particular purpose and for a particular
group.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
