| Summary: | Developing tests and questionnaires for
a national assessment of educational achievement addresses
the design of two types of data collection instruments:
student achievement tests and background questionnaires.
Part one covers the development of an assessment framework
and a test blueprint, item writing, pre testing, and final
test layout. Part two delineates comparable stages and
activities in the construction of background questionnaires,
which are used to gather information from students,
teachers, head teachers, or parents on variables that might
help explain differences in student performance on the
achievement test. Part three describes how to design a
manual for test administration to help ensure that all
students take the test under standardized conditions. The
compact disc (CD) that accompanies this book offered
examples of well-designed test items, questionnaire items,
and administration manuals drawn from national and
international assessments and is meant to showcase the
variety of ways in which assessment teams have approached
the design of these instruments. |
