Description

This training kit addresses a fundamental topic in educational work, namely constructing exam questions according to precise scientific foundations.

The kit reviews the characteristics of a good test, from clarity of purpose to validity and reliability in tests, and reveals the most common mistakes that teachers unintentionally make when preparing their tests.

The kit also offers models and practical applications that help trainees master the steps of evaluating academic achievement with objectivity and impartiality, resulting in an integrated kit ready for delivery in workshops and training courses aimed at educational staff.

Objectives

  • Distinguishing between the characteristics of a good test and a weak test through specific scientific criteria.
  • Identifying the concepts of validity and reliability in tests and clarifying their effect on the accuracy of assessment results.
  • Formulating varied test questions that take into account clarity of purpose and measure different cognitive levels.

  • Designing an integrated test that serves the process of evaluating academic achievement accurately and objectively.
