Goals To have basic knowledge and understanding of basic concepts in measurement and evaluation and competencies in development of measurement instruments for classrooms.
Course Content The place and importance of measurement and evaluation in education; basic concepts of measurement and evaluation; psychometric (validity, reliability, usefulness) properties of measurement tools; development and implementation of achievement tests; interpreting test results and giving feedback; analysis of test and item scores; evaluation and grading.
Learning Outcomes - They explain the purpose and importance of measurement and evaluation practices in education and psychology.
- Explains the concept and types of evaluation and gives examples.
- Describe different measurement and evaluation approaches used in education and psychology.
- Interprets the error types in measurement.
- Explore the process of developing reliable, field-specific measurement tools.
- Explain the relationship between validity and reliability in measurement.
- Calculates test and item statistics using the scores obtained from the measurement tools.
- Prepares the test plan.
- Evaluates the results obtained from measurement tools with appropriate evaluation methods.
- Calculates central concentration measures (mode, median, arithmetic mean) and central distribution measures (range, standard deviation, quarter deviation, normal distribution).
- Uses test development techniques
