CHAPTER10

UTILIZATION OF
ASSESSMETN DATA
In this chapter:

 We shall look into the types of test


score.
 Present test score interpretations
using norm and criterion-referenced
interpretation.
TYPES OF TEST SCORES

Results of tests are in the form of scores, and these


maybe:
 Raw scores
 Percentile Rank
 Z-scores
 T-scores
 Stanines; or level, category or proficiency scores (Harris, 2003)
RAW AND PERCENTAGE SCORES

 Raw scores are obtained by simply counting the number of correct


responses in a test following the scoring directions.
 The percentage score useful in describing a student’s performance
base on criterion.
PERCENTILE RANK

 A percentile rank gives the percent of scores that are at or below a


raw or standard scores.
 This should not be confused with the percentage of the correct
answer.
 Percentile rank do not represent equal units. Hence, they should not
be subjected to arithmetic operations.
STANDARD SCORES

 A standard score is a derived score which utilizes the normal curve


to show how student’s performance compares with the distribution
of score above and below the arithmetic mean.
 Among the standard scores are the Z-SCORE, T-SCORE, and
STANINE.
Z-SCORE

 The z-score gives the number of standard deviations of a test score


above or below the mean.
 The formula is:
𝑋−𝑋
Z=
𝑆

where;
x is the test score
x is the average score
s is the standard deviation
T-SCORE

 Some teachers are not comfortable with using z-score because of


negative numbers. More so, it may adversely affect student
motivation. To fix this, we can translate it to a percentile rank using
the normal table or convert the z-score to a scale that does not
include negative values like the t-score.
STANINE

 Stanine, short for standard nine, is method of scaling scores on nine-


point scale. A raw score is converted to a whole number from a low
1 to a high 9
NORMAL CURVE EQUIVALENT

 NCE is normalized standard score within the range 1-99.


 It has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 21.06.
 NCE is preferred by some because of its equal-interval quality.
DEVELOPMENTAL SCORES

 A grade equivalent (GE) describe a learner’s developmental


growth. It gives a picture as to where he/she is on an achievement
continuum .
 Note that is GE is an estimate of a learner’s location in the
development continuum and not the grade lever where he/she
should be placed (Frechting & Myerberg, 1983).
TYPES OF TEST SCORE
INTERPRETATIONS
A. NORM-REFERENCED
INTERPRETATION
 The term “norm” originated from the Latin word norma which mean
precept or rule. By definition, it pertains to the average score in the
test.
 Norm-referenced interpretations are explanation of the learners
performance in comparison with other learner’s of the same age or
grade.
 Norm-referenced evaluations determine the learner’s place or rank.
Nitko & brookhart stated 5 guidelines when
interpreting norm-referenced test scores

1. Detect any unexpected patter of scores


2. Determine the reasons for score patterns
3. Do not expect surprises for every student
4. Small differences in subtest score should be viewed as chance
fluctuation
5. Use information from various assessments and observations to
explain performance on other assesments
CRITERION-REFERENCED
INTERPRETATIONS
 The word “criterion” came from the Greek word kriterion which
means standard. And so, criterion reference interpretations provide
meaning to tests scores by describing what the learner can and
cannot do in light of a standard.
 Criterion-referenced scores include percentage correct, speed of
performance, quality ratings and precision of performance.
 Criterion-referencing is used in diagnosing student’s needs and
monitoring their progress.
