Classroom testing

Аннотация

Unlike standardized tests, classroom assessment is often designed by teachers, although the classroom test can be pre-packaged. The classroom test can consist of selected and constructed responses, like many standardized assessments, or it can be performance-based. The advantage is that teachers can assess what was actually taught and if students have met the learning target. Classroom tests serve several purposes including formative and summative. Teachers need to consider several issues when designing assessments including validity, reliability, bias, and balance. The logistics of classroom assessments need consideration, such as the testing environment and what students will do once they finish. Grading and providing feedback are also aspects of test design.
