Developing tests and questionnaires for a national assessment of educational achievement

Submitted by admin on
Abstract

Developing Tests and Questionnaires for a National Assessment of Educational Achievement is the second in the series designed to help build capacity in carrying out technically adequate assessments of national levels of student achievement. It introduces readers to the activities involved in the development of achievement tests, and includes developing an assessment framework, writing multiple choice and constructed response type items, pretesting, producing test booklets, and handscoring items. A section on questionnaire construction features designing questionnaires, writing questions, coding responses, and linking questionnaire and test score data. The final section covers the development of a test administration manual, selecting test administrators, and contacting sampled schools. The book should serve as a useful resource for those interested in educational assessment and evaluation, especially for personnel engaged in national assessments of student achievement.
