Learning Analysis

Test are used to identify the

reasons or causes why
students do not learn and
the solutions to help them
learn.

by regularly digging it.
If the entire class does
poorly, the curriculum needs
to be revised or special units
need to be developed for the
class to continue.

In a reliable grading system,
the class average is the
grade the teacher has earned.
Improvement of Instructional Materials

Test measure how effective

instructional materials are in
bringing about intended
changes.
Individualization

Effective tests always indicate

differences in students’
learning. These can serve as
bases for individual help.
Selection

When enrollment opportunity

is limited, a test can be used to
screen those who are more
qualified.
Placement

Tests can be used to determine

to which category a student
belongs.
Guidance and Counseling
Results from appropriate
tests, particularly
standardized tests, can help
teachers and counselors
guide students in assessing
future academic and career
possibilities.
Research

Test can be a feedback tools

to find affective methods of
teaching and learn more
about students, their
interests, goals and
achievements.
Selling and Interpreting the School to the Community

Effective tests help the community

understand what the students are
learning, since test items are
representative of the content of
instruction. Tests can also be used
to diagnose general school wide
weaknesses and strengths that
require community or government
support.
Identification of Exceptional Children

Tests can reveal exceptional

students inside the classroom. More
often than not, these students are
overlooked and left unattended.
Evaluation of Learning Program

Ideally, test should evaluate the

effectiveness of each element in a
learning program, not just blanket
the information of the total learning
environment.

OBJECTIVE 2

Classify the various types of test

 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Mode of Response
1. Oral Test (viva voce)
- answers are spoken
- used to measure oral communication
skills
- used to check students’
understanding of concepts, theories
and procedures
 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Mode of Response
2. Written Tests
- are activities wherein students either select or
provide a response to a prompt.
-it can be administered to a large group at one time
-can measure students’ written communication skills
-used to assess lower and higher levels of cognition
 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Mode of Response
3. Performance Tests
-Activities that requires students to
demonstrate their skills or ability to
perform specific actions.
- Tasks are designed to be authentic,
meaningful, in-depth and multidimensional.

 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Ease of Quantification of Response

1. Objective Test
-Can be corrected and quantified easily
- Scores can be readily compared
 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Ease of Quantification of Response

2. Subjective Test
- Elicits varied responses
- A test question of this type may have more
than one answer.
- It is not easy to check
- Scores are likely to be influence by personal
opinion or judgment of the person doing the
scoring

 TYPES OF TESTS
According to mode of administration
1. Individual Test
-it is given to one person at a time
-it is administered to gather extensive
information about each student’s cognitive
functioning and his/her ability to process and
perform specific tasks.
-helps to identify intellectually gifted students
and so the students with learning disabilities
 TYPES OF TESTS
According to mode of administration
2. Group Test
-it is administered to a class of students
or group of examinees simultaneously
-the test is usually objective and
responses are more or less restricted
 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Test Constructor
1. Standardized Test
-prepared by specialist who are versed in
the principles of assessment
-administered to a large-group of students
or examiners under similar conditions
-Scoring procedures and interpretation are
consistent
 TYPES OF TESTS
According to Test Constructor
2. Non-standardized Test
-prepared by teachers who may not be adept
at the principles of test construction
Example: Teacher-made test
-Scores are not-subjected to any statistical
procedure to determine reliability
-There are no established standards for scoring
