Testing and Evaluation Exam

Master2 LLA

Student's Name: Abdaoui Rayane

Answer

Evaluation is an essential aspect of learning since it decides whether or not the


educational objectives are being met. Grades, placement, improvement, instructional
needs, curriculum, and, in some cases, funding are all affected by evaluation. "Do
students understand what they learn?" "Is there a way to enhance the subject's
teaching and therefore improve learning?" these are some of the questions that
.evaluation leads tutors to ask
The learner's ability to coordinate, structure, and use knowledge in context to solve
complex problems is crucial and should be evaluated through both tests and non-tests
means to determine knowledge about student learning. Homework, quizzes, tests,
studies, essays, thesis projects, case study review, and rubrics for oral and other
performances are examples of direct interventions. Course assessments, student
surveys, course enrollment information, major retention, alumni surveys, and other
.indicators are examples of indirect interventions
Tests, also known as authentic, systematic, or performance assessment, are typically
created by the instructor to evaluate the students' comprehension of content. These
tests are types of evaluation that refers to procedures for assessing a learner's progress
at a particular point in time including Achievement Tests, Intelligence Tests,
Diagnostic Tests, Formative Tests, Summative Tests, Aptitude Tests, Survey Tests,
Performance Tests, Personality Tests, Prognostic Tests, Power Tests, Speed Tests,
Placement Tests, Standardized Tests, Teacher-made Tests, Mastery Tests and
.Readiness Test
Non- testing techniques on the other hand, apply to techniques that do not require a
test. As a consequence, it excludes certain assessments such as aptitude tests,
achievement tests, interest inventories, and personality tests. Non-standard techniques
are another term for non-testing techniques. Non-testing involves a wide variety of
procedures such as: Observation, Projects, Questions, Checklists, Rating scale,
Anecdotal Records, Conversations, Questionnaires, Opinionnaire, Interviews,
Portfolio and Essay tests. These alternative evaluations are developed with the
intention of matching the quality of the evaluation to the content of the instruction.
Successful assessments provide students with input on their comprehension of the
curriculum and areas where they need to improve, while also aiding teachers in better
designing teaching and when students engage in their own evaluation, it becomes
.even more critical
In sum, when done correctly, testing can be a very useful way to learn. Taking tests,
as well as participating in well-designed activities before and after tests, will result in
better retrieval of facts—and a deeper and more nuanced understanding—than an
education that does not include exams. Hence, for a particular context and intent, a
good evaluation has both validity and reliability .In practice, an evaluation is rarely
absolutely valid or reliable.
