test administration and reporting Preparing student Test Assembly Test administration Analysis of student responses Reporting
Preparing students • Assess maximum, not typical, performance of the student • Give students enough information about the assessment: • Time • Pop quizzes do not assess maximum performance • Test condition (timed, speeded, take-home) • Test content • Emphasis of the test • Scoring • Test use Poor test administration conditions have the potential to interfere with students demonstrating their full potential and puts at risk the accuracy and usefulness of the data (ODE, 2014 ).
Test Assembly • Purpose of the assessment being assembled • Range of content/Learning Progression to be covered • Distribution of test items • Type the test and distribute it fairly • Organization of test items • Place easier items first minimize test-anxiety and improve validity • Give clear directions to answer each item • Provide a balance of item types, content coverage, difficulty levels • Make sure adequate time is allowed
Test administration considerations • Time of day • Time allotted • Proximity to teaching of targeted content • Other issues
Analysis of Student Responses • Score student responses • Group students upper-, middle-, and lower-scoring group • Did the group of students have particular difficulties? What might be done about this? • Compute item difficulty (percent of students passing item, or average score) • Analyze responses for the least and most difficult items, as well as items where most students could do • Distribution of scores per item • Does the item function differently for different groups of students?
reporting • Reports should provide information about student achievement relative to the learning target (ODE, 2014).
