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 - Explains the concept of measurement and its types and gives examples.
- Explains the concept and types of evaluation and gives examples.
- Interprets the scale types and discusses the differences between them.
- Interprets the error types in measurement.
- Discusses the required features (validity, reliability and usefulness) of a measurement tool.
- Explain the relationship between validity and reliability in measurement.
- Discusses assessment techniques (written exams, multiple choice tests, true-false tests, short answer tests, oral exams) with all their features.
- Prepares the test plan.
- Knows test analyzes (difficulty index and discrimination power) and calculates the difficulty indexes and distinctiveness of test questions.
- Calculates central concentration measures (mode, median, arithmetic mean) and central distribution measures (range, standard deviation, quarter deviation, normal distribution).
- Uses test development techniques
