Marking and Data Entry
Creating Tests:
Who is being tested?
- All of year 4, 5, & 6 at start of year?
- One class at start of maths strand?
- One group in your class?
- A few students in your class?
- All of year 4, 5, & 6 at end of year?
This may well determine who will set
the test(s); eg. Syndicate leaders, teachers?
Collecting High-Quality Data
How long will the test be?
The time will also determine the number of questions.
How long can your students concentrate for?
This will also determine the number of AO’s in the GLP.
How many questions for each AO? Only choose one strand.
The time will also determine the number of curriculum sliders that
you can select.
12 – 23 mins = 1 strand (max)
24 – 35 mins = 2 strands (max)
36 – 47 mins = 3 strands (max)
48 – 59 mins = 4 strands (max)
• Choice of Curriculum Area
– Choose one curriculum area eg. Number Operations.
– The reason for this is that you will get a test of about 32
questions based on less achievement objectives, than if you did
a 32 question test covering Number, Algebra, & Measurement.
– Therefore, more of the achievement objectives will have a
greater number of questions allocated to them.
– This gives greater confidence and credibility in your decision
making when looking at the reports eg. Group Learning
Pathways.
Differentiated Testing:
Testing needs to be by ability, not age or year level.
Create a range of tests;
Lev 2, Lev 2/3, Lev 3, Lev 3/4, Lev 4
(see Educator Manual, introduction, pg 19)
Assigning Students to a test.
Computer needs to know which student(s) will sit which test (paper &
online).
Can assign an entire group (class)
Can assign students within a group (class)
