The document provides guidelines for constructing written tests, including identifying the appropriate test format to measure learning outcomes. It discusses classifying tests by learning outcome, designing assessment plans aligned with objectives, and developing test items according to format guidelines. The goal is for learners to demonstrate knowledge and skills in constructing traditional test types applicable to outcomes. Choosing a test format depends on distinguishing objectives and requiring skills in setting objectives, outcomes, and specifications tables.

CONSTRUCTION OF
WRITTEN TEST LESSON 5 • Identify the appropriate test format to measure learning outcomes, and
• Apply the general guidelines in constructing test
for different test formats. Significant culminating performance task and success indicators
• At the end of the lesson, you should be able to
demonstrate your knowledge and skills in constructing traditional types of test that are most applicable to a particular learning outcome. PERFORMANCE TASK SUCCESS INDICATORS CLASSIFYING TEST Identify the test format that is most appropriate for a particular learning outcome
Create an assessment plan aligned with
the desired learning outcomes (DLOs) DESIGNING TEST and the teaching and learning activites (TLAs) CONSTRUCTING TEST ITEMS Develop test items following the general guidelines for test constructing of different test formats Prerequisite of the lesson • The construction of good test requires specific skills and experiences. To be able to successfully perform the above culminating performance task, you should be able distinguish the different test types formats, and understand the processes and requirements in setting learning objectives and outcomes and in preparing the table of specifications. • Classroom assessments are an integral part of learners’ learning. They do more than just measure learning. They also inform the learners what needs to be learned and to what extent and how to learn also provide the parents some feedback about their child’s achievement of the desired learning outcomes. • There are many ways by which learners can demonstrate their knowledge and skills and show evidence of their proficiencies at the end of a lesson, unit, or subject. While authentic/performance-based assessments have been advocated as the better and more appropriate methods in assessing learning outcomes, particularly as they assess higher-level thinking skills, traditional written assessment methods such multiple choice test, are also considered as appropriate and efficient classroom assessment tools some types of learning target. What are the general guidelines in choosing the appropriate test format? 1.what are the objectives or desired learning outcomes of the subject/unit/lesson being assessed?
Deciding on what test format to use generally
depends on your learning objectives or the desired learning outcomes of the subject/unit/lesson. Desired learning outcomes are statements of what learners are expected to do or demonstrate as a result of engaging in the learning process. What level of thinking is to assessed does cognitive level of the test question match your instructional objectives or DLOs?
