MEASUREMENT AND
EVALUATION
KEY CONCEPTS
Measurement: the process by which information about the attributes or characteristics of things are determined and differentiated.
It is also a systematic procedure of determining the quantity or extent of all the measurable dimensions in the educative process.
Measurable Dimensions: intelligence, interest, aptitudes, values, health, personality traits, and scholastic achievements.
Evaluation: is a process of summing up the results of measurements, giving them some meaning based on some value judgments.
Test: is a type of measuring instrument designed to measure any quality, ability, skill, knowledge or attitude of students.
Quiz: is a relatively short test given periodically to measure achievement in material recently taught or on any small, newly completed unit of work.
Ex: 5 to 10 minute test or a 10-item test.
Item: is a part of a test that elicits a specific response. Ex: multiple choice question, a true-false question, and the like.
Assessment: A process of gathering and organizing data into an interpretable form to have a basis for decision making.
PRINCIPLES OF
EVALUATION
Principle Application in Classroom Testing and Measurement
1.Significance:Evaluation is an essential component of the teaching-learning process.
The evaluation of learning outcomes necessitates careful planning and the use of appropriate measuring instruments.
2. Continuity:Evaluation is a
continuous process. It takes place before, during and after instruction.
Placement, formative, diagnostic and summative evaluation should be conducted.
3. Scope:Evaluation should
be comprehensive and as varied as the scope of objectives.
The areas to be evaluated should include cognitive, (thinking skills, knowledge, and abilities) psychomotor, (physical and motor skills) and affective (social skills, attitudes and values).
4. Congruency:Evaluation must
be compatible with the stated objectives.
The lesson objectives should be clearly stated. Appropriate evaluation measures should match these objectives.
5. Validity:There must be a close
relationship between what an evaluation instrument actually measures and what it is supposed to measure.
Using a combination of evaluation procedures is likely to yield results that will provide a reliable picture of the learner’s performance.
6. Objectivity: Although effective
evaluation should use all the available information, it is generally believed that this information is more worthwhile if it is objectively obtained.
The data and information needed for evaluation should be obtained in an unbiased manner.
7. Reliability:Evaluation
instruments should be consistent in measuring what it does measure.
The classroom teacher should construct and use tests that will enable him/her to achieve specific lesson objectives consistently.
8. Diagnostic value:Effective evaluation
should distinguish not only between levels of learners’ performance but also between the processes, which result in acceptable performance.
Provisions should be made for diagnosticevaluation to determine the strengths as well as the weaknesses and learning problems of the students.
9. Participation:Evaluation should be a
cooperative effort of school administrators, teachers, students, and parents.
School administrators, teachers, students, and parents should be involved in the evaluation program. Specifically, students as well as their parents should be oriented on the evaluation policies of the school.
10. Variety:Evaluation procedures are
of different types, namely: standardized tests and teacher-made tests; systematic observation and recording; rating scales, inventories, checklists, questionnaires; sentence completion and sociometry.
Using a combination of evaluation procedures is likely to yield results that will provide a reliable picture of the learner’s performance.

ESSAY EXAMINATION
Unrestricted or Uncontrolled type
Restricted or Controlled type
Objective Test: generally calls for single words, phrases, numbers, letters, and other symbols as responses to items.
Objective Tests are classified as follows:Simple Recall: is defined as one in which each item appears as a direct question, a stimulus word or phrase, or a specified direction. The response is recalled rather than selected from a list given by the teacher. The question should ask only for an important aspect of a fact.
Example: Answer the following questions. Write your answer at the spaces provided for at the left._____________ 1. Who was known as the “Tagalog Joan of Arc” because of her exploits during the revolution._____________ 2. The Katipunan in Cavite was divided into two factions-the Magdiwang and the Magdalo. While Magdiwang in Cavite was led by Mariano Alvarez, who led the Magdalo faction?____________ 3. What is the primary source of the objectives of education in the Philippines at present?
Completion Test (Fill-in the Blanks): is defined as a series of sentences in which certain important words or phrases have been omitted for the pupils to fill. A sentence may contain one or more blanks and the sentences may be disconnected or organized into paragraph.
Example: Supply the missing word or words to complete the meaning of the statement. Write your answer at the left.
______ 1. A thermometer measures ____. ______ 2. _____ is the process that occurs when dry ice, (CO2 solid) is changed to CO2 (gas).
______ 3. Radium was discovered by ____.
Identification Test: a form of completion test in which a term is defined, describe, explained or indicated by a picture, diagram, or a concrete object and the term referred to is supplied by the pupil or student.
Example: Identify the following. Write the answers at the left.________1. The conqueror of Magellan.________ 2. The first Filipino cannon maker.________ 3. The Rajah who led the fight against Legaspi in 1571.
Labeling Test: is a type of test in which the names of parts of a diagram, map, drawing, or picture are to be indicated.
Give the name of the island indicated.

Enumeration: An enumeration test is a type of completion test in which there are two or more responses to an item.
Alternative Response: Made up of items each of which admits only one of only two possible responses. Varieties of this test are true or false, right or wrong, correct or incorrect, yes or no, fact or opinion, and the like.
Example: Before each statement, write True if the statement is true and write False if the statement is false.______1. Andy gained knowledge and skills by talking and sharing his experiences to his parents, teachers, older siblings, and older cousins. This situation illustrates Psychosocial Theory._____2. In Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, a child between birth to two years, that is during the sensorimotor period, does not see things in abstract forms.____ 3. Law of Readiness by Edward Lee Thorndike explains that any connection is strengthened in proportion to the number of times it occurs and in proportion to the average vigor and duration of the connection.
Multiple Choice Test: made up of items each of which presents two or more responses, only one of which is correct or definitely better than the others. Each item must be in the form of a complete sentence, question, incomplete statement, or a stimulus word or phrase.
Example: Select the letter of the correct answer. Write at the left of the statement the letters that correspond to the correct options._______1. A student collapsed in her social studies class. It was found out that she did not eat her lunch. What principle is shown in this situation?
a. Physiological need c. Safety needb. Security need d. Psychological
need______ 2. Which of the following refers to the repetition of facts and skills which the teacher wishes to reinforce for mastery?
a. Drill c. Recitation b. Review d. Mastery
- The main advantage of the multiple choice test is its superior capacity to measure higher levels of knowledge, judgment, reasoning and understanding compared to other types of objective tests.
Matching Type of Test: A matching type test is composed of two columns; one is called stimulus and the other, the response column. Each item in one column is to be matched with another item to which it corresponds in the other column.
Example: Match the items in Column B with the items in Column A. Write the letter of your answer on the space provided before each number.
Column A Column B____1. Patron Saint of Teachers a. Paolo Freire____ 2. Wrote the “Pedagogy ofthe Oppressed” b. Edward Lee Thorndike____3. Authored the laws c. Friedrich August Froebelof learning____ 4. Father of Kindergarten d. St. John Baptiste de la Salle
e. Herbert Spencer
Rearrangement of Elements: consists of ordering items on some basis. Ordering measures memory of relationship and concepts of organization in many subjects.
Example: Arrange the following events in their chronological order. Write their corresponding letters at the left._____1. a. Execution of Dr. Jose Rizal_____2. b. Declaration of the first
Philippine Independence_____3. c. The Edsa Revolution_____4. d. World War II
ADVANTAGES OF
OBJECTIVE EXAMINATIO
NS
1. The sampling of the objective examination is more representative and so measurement is more extensive. This is so because more items are include in the test.
2. Handicaps such as poor vocabulary, poor handwriting, poor spelling, poor grammar and the like do not adversely affect the ability to make a reply.
3. Scoring is not subjective because the responses are single words, phrases, numbers, letters, and other symbols with definite value points and hence, the personal element of the scorer is removed.
DISADVANTAGES OF
OBJECTIVE EXAMINATIO
NS
1. Generally, it measures factual knowledge only. It hardly measures higher levels of knowledge or complex ideas.
2. It does not help in nor encourage the development of the ability of the students to organize and express their ideas.
3. It encourages memory work even without understanding.4. It is easy to cheat in an objective examination.5. It is hard to prepare.
Essay Examinations: The essay type test is a type of examination in which the subject or examinee is made to discuss, enumerate, compare, state, explain, analyze or criticize.
Classification of Essay
Examinations or Questions
Unrestricted or Uncontrolled Type: In this type, the students have very wide latitude of expression. They have a wide freedom of organizing their ideas in the way they want.Example: Discuss the economic condition of the country.
Restricted or Controlled Type: in this type, the student is limited in organizing his response. There are guides in making a response.Example: Give and discuss the causes of the Philippine Revolution starting with the remote causes and followed by the immediate ones.
ADVANTAGES OF
ESSAY EXAMINATIO
N
1. The essay examination measures the higher levels of knowledge. It measures the ability to interpret, evaluate, apply principles, create, organize thoughts and ideas, contrast, etc.
2. The essay test helps students organize their thoughts and ideas logically.
3. The essay test is easy to prepare. It can be prepared in a short time.
4. It is harder to cheat in an essay test.
DISADVANTAGES OF ESSAY
EXAMINATION
1. Essay tests are usually not well prepared. Some questions are vague.2. There is difficulty of giving the right weight to each question.
3. Its usability is low. It takes a long time scoring it because no one except the teacher handling the subject on which the test is based can check the test papers. It cannot be mechanically scored.
4. Sampling is limited. Few questions can be included and hence, the coverage is limited.
5. Scoring is subjective. The causes of subjectivity are:Different standards of excellence of different teachers scoring the papers or different standards of the same teacher checking the papers at different times.The physical and mental conditions of the person checking a paper may also affect the scoring.
THE CLASSROOM TESTING PROCESS
1. Specifying the objectives2. Preparing the Table of Specification3. Determining the item format, number, of the test item, and difficulty level of the test4. Writing the test items that match the objectives5. Editing, revising, and finalizing test items6. Administering the test7. Scoring8. Tabulating and analyzing the results9. Assigning grades
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
IN CONSTUCTING
WRITTEN EXAMINATION
1. Prepare a table of specifications or a test blue print and use it as a guide for writing test items.
2. Match the test item with the instructional objectives.
3. Keep the vocabulary level of the test items as simple as possible. Ensure that the test directions are clear and direct.
4. State each test item so that only one answer is correct.5. See to it that one test item does not provide help or give clues in answering other test items
GUIDELINES IN WRITING
SPECIFIC TEST ITEMS
Completion Test (Fill-in the Blanks)
1. Omit only words that are essential to the meaning of the statement or sentence.Example: The founder of Katipunan was ____________________.
2. Do not omit so many words in a statement. The statement may lose its meaning.Example: Wrong : _______ was _____________ the first ________ of the __________.
3. Make the blanks equal in length to avoid clues. Long blanks suggest long answer, short ones suggest short answer.Ex: 1. The brain of Katipunan was __________. 2. The brain of revolution was __________. 3. The founder of La Liga Filipina was __________.
4. Answer should be written before the number for easy checking.
5. Avoid equivocal questions. Equivocal questions admit two or more interpretations.Example: Wrong: Rizal was born in ___________. The answer to this may refer to place or time.
Better: Rizal was born in the year _____________.
Identification: 1. The definition, description, or explanation of the term may be given by means of a phrase or incomplete statement if it is not indicated by a picture, diagram, or complete object.Example: Identify the following:______ 1. The hero of the Battle of Mactan______ 2. The longest Filipino revolt______ 3. A triangle with a right angle
2. The statement should be so phrased that there is only one response.Example: Identify the following:Wrong: ____________ (1.) Manuel L.
QuezonBetter: ____________ ( 2.) The first
President of the Commonwealth.
Labeling Test:
1. Make a diagram map, drawing or picture to be labeled very clear and recognizable especially the parts to be labeled.
2. The parts to be labeled should be indicated by arrows so that the labels can be written in a vertical column in a definite place and not on the face of the diagram, map, drawing or picture.
Alternative Response Test (True or False)1. Avoid the use of absolute modifiers such as all, none, no, always, never, nothing, only, alone, and the like unless they are a part of a fact or truth. These terms tend to make the statement false.
Example:(1) All Filipinos are hardworking. (This is of course false)(2) All players in athletics are strong. (Again, this is false)(3) All first place winners in the Olympics received gold medals. (This is true because this is a fact)
2. Vague qualifiers such as usually, seldom, much, little, few, small, large, and the like should be used only when they are a part of a fact or truth.
Example:(1) Some Filipinos are
thrifty. (Of course this is true)
(2) Many stars are already very old. (True. This is a fact)
3. The number of true statements and false statements should be approximately equal.
4. The correct responses should not follow a pattern; otherwise the students may be able to give the right symbols although they do not know the real answers.
5. Start with a false statement since it is common observation that the first statement in this type of test is always positive.
Multiple Choice Test
CONSTRUCTING/
IMPROVING THE MAIN
STEM
1. The main stem of the test item may be constructed in question form, completion form, or direction form.Example: Question Form: Which is the same as four hundred seventy?
a. b. c. d.Completion Form: Four hundred seventy is the same as ___________.
a. b. c. d.Direction Form: Add: 22 + 43
a. b. c. d.
* Three alternatives (for
grades I-III) or four alternatives (for
grades IV-VI) should be provided
in each case.
2. The questions should not be trivial. There should be a consensus on its answer.
Example: Trivial Question:What time does the sun
rise in the morning? a. 4 o’clock c. 6 o’clockb. 5 o’clock d. 7 o’clock
3. Each question should have only one answer, not several possible answers.
4. Highlight negative words in the stem for emphasis.Example: One of the strengths of the Filipino character is “pakikipagkapwa-tao”. This is manifested in all of the following EXCEPT-a. “Malasakit” c. “Lakas ng Loob”b. “Pakikiramay” d. “Pakikiramdam”
CONSTRUCTING/
IMPROVING ALTERNATIVE
S
1. Alternatives should be as closely related to each other as possible.
Example:
Poor alternatives: 74 + 23 = ______.
a. 87 b. 97c. 100
-Pupils’ mistakes should be anticipated. Such possible mistakes should be given among the alternatives.
2. Alternatives should be arranged in natural order.
Example: Poor: Pedro is ten years old. How many trips has the earth made around the sun since he was born?
a. 365b. 12 c. 10d. 30
Improved Alternatives: a. 10 a. 365b. 12 b. 30c. 30 c. 12d. 365 d.
10
3. Alternatives should have grammatical parallelism. Example:
Poor: Clay can be used for:
a. making hollow blocks
b. making potsc. garden soil
Improved: Clay can be used for:
a. making hollow blocks
b. growing vegetables
c. making pots
4. Arrangement of correct answers should not follow any pattern.
Example:Poor:
1. b 1. a 1. a2. c 2. a 2. b3. b 3. b 3. a4. c 4. b 4. b5. b 5. c 5. a6. c 6. c 6. b
Matching Type:1. Use only homogenous material in a single matching exercise.
Example: Poor:Column A Column B
___ 1. Quezon a. MIMAROPA___2. Pampanga b. Cagayan___3. Camarines Norte c. Daet__4. Region IV-A d. CALABARZON__5. Region IV-B e. Lucena
f. San Fernando
2. There should be two columns, written side by side, the stimulus column or question column should be written to the left side and the response column to the right. There should be a short blank before each stimulus question where to write the symbol of the response.
Example: Column A Column B (Stimulus) (Response)
___1. Proponent of a. Jean Piaget Psychosocial Theory___2. Major contributor b. Erik Ericson on the Theory of Cognitive Development
3. Directions should be clear in stating what items in the response column should be matched within the stimulus column and vice versa. In addition, there should be an unequal number of responses and premises (stimuli).
Direction: Match the capital towns in column B with the provinces in column A and write the letter of symbol of each town in the spaces provided before each number in column A.
Column A Column B_____1. Cagayan a. Malolos_____2. Pampanga b. Pasig_____3. Rizal c. Vigan_____4. Bulacan d. Lucena_____5. Ilocos Sur e. Tuguegarao_____6. Isabela f. Lingayen_____7. Zambales g. San Fernado_____8. Pangasinan h. Daet_____9. Batangas i. Laog_____10. Ilocos Norte j. Bangued

Rearrangement of Elements
When this type of test is used the basis of arrangement should be tested clearly. The bases are:
Chronological Order: This is arranging items in the order in which they occur.Example: Arrange the following Presidents in their chronological order. Write your answer at the right.Garcia 1. ___________Marcos 2. ___________Magsaysay 3. ___________Macapagal 4. ___________Osmeña 5. ___________Quezon 6. ___________Quirino 7. ___________Roxas 8. ___________

RUBRICS
A rubric is a scoring tool for subjective assessments. It is a set of criteria and standards linked to learning objectives that is used to assess a student's performance on papers, projects, essays, and other assignments. Rubrics allow for standardized evaluation according to specified criteria, making grading simpler and more transparent.

GUIDELINES IN
DEVELOPING RUBRICS
1. Identify the important and observable features or criteria of an excellent performance or quality product.
2. Clarify the meaning of each trait or criterion and the performance levels.
3. Describe the gradations of quality product or excellent performance.
4. Keep the number of criteria reasonable enough to be observed or judged.
5. Arrange the criteria in order in which they will likely to be observed.
6. Determine the weight of each criterion and the whole work or performance in the final grade.
ESTABLISHING CONTENT VALIDITY
- The degree of validity is the single
most important aspect of a test.
Validity: can be defined as the degree to which a test is capable of achieving certain aims. Validity is sometimes defined as truthfulness: Does the test measure what it intends to measure?
KINDS OF
VALIDITY
1. Face Validity: is done by examining the physical appearance of the test.
2. Content Validity: is related to how
adequate the content of the test samples the domain about which inferences are to be made. It has to do with the appropriateness of the test to the curricular objectives.
3. Criterion-related Validity: This kind of validity pertains to the empirical technique of studying the relationship between predictor, or test scores and some independent external measure, or criterion.
Kinds of Criterion-related Validity
3.1 Concurrent Validity: describes the present status of the individual by correlating the sets of scores obtained from two measures given concurrently.
3.2 Predictive Validity: describes the future performance of an individual by correlating the sets of scores obtained from two measures given at a longer time interval.
4. Construct Validity: is established statistically by comparing psychological traits or factors that theoretically influence scores in a test.
Kinds of Construct
Validity
4.1 Convergent Validity: is established if the instrument defines another similar trait other than what it is intended to measure. e.g. Critical Thinking Test may be correlated with Creative Thinking Test.
4.2 Divergent Validity: is established if an instrument can describe only the intended trait and not the other traits. e.g. Critical Thinking Test may not be correlated with Reading Comprehension Test.
FACTORS INFLUENCI
NG VALIDITY
1. Appropriateness of Test: it should measure the abilities, skills and information it issupposed to measure.
2. Directions: it should indicate how the learners should answer and record their answers.
3. Reading Vocabulary and Sentence Structures: it should be based on the intellectual level of maturity and background experience of the learners.
4. Difficulty of Items: it should have items that are not too difficult and not too easy to be able to discriminate the bright from slow pupils.
5. Construction of Test Items: it should not provide clues so it will not be a test on clues nor ambiguous so it will not be a test on interpretation.
6. Length of the Test: it should just be of sufficient length so it can measure what it is supposed to measure and not that it is too short that it cannot adequately measure the performance we want to measure.
7. Arrangement of items: it should have items that are arranged in ascending level of difficulty such that it starts with the easy so that the pupils will pursue on taking the test.
8. Patterns of Answers: it should not allow the creation of patterns in answering the test.
ESTABLISHING TEST
RELIABILITY
Reliability: refers to consistency; it is the degree to which measurements of the content knowledge or of cognitive development ability are consistent each time the test is given.
CONSIDERATIONS IN
ESTABLISHING TEST
RELIABILITY
1.Length of the Test: Generally speaking, the longer the test, the more reliable it will be.
2. The quality of the individual questions or test items: Test maker must see to it that each item is as precise and as understandable as possible.
3. Interpretability (Scorability): The interpretability of an evaluation devise refers to how readily scores may be derived and understood.
4. Usability (Practicability, Economy): Usability is the degree to which the evaluation instrument can be successfully employed by classroom teachers and school administrators without an undue expenditure of time and energy.
Five factors upon which usability depends:
a. Ease of administration;b. Ease of scoring;c. Ease of interpretation and
application; d. Low cost
5. Objectivity: can be obtained by eliminating the bias, opinions or judgments of the person who checks the test.
6. Authenticity: the test should simulate real-life situations.
DESCRIBING EDUCATIONA
L DATA
ITEM ANALYSISThe process of
testing the effectiveness of the
items in an examination.
Item analysis gives information concerning each of the following points:1. The difficulty of the item2. The discriminating power of the item3. The effectiveness of each item
SEVERAL BENEFITS OF ITEM ANALYSIS
1. It gives useful information for class discussion of the test. 2. It gives data for helping the students to improve their learning method. 3. It gives insights and skills which lead to the construction of better test items for future use.
SIMPLIFIED ITEM-ANALYSIS PROCEDURE (UL Method)
Only the upper group (U) and lower group (L) scores are considered. The middle or average group is held in abeyance.

STEPS:
1. Arrange the test scores from the highest to the lowest.
98-E 82-E 74-C
97-E 81-A 74-B95-A 80-A 73-E94-A 80-B 72-E90-E 79-E 70-E89-C 79-A 65-D87-E 77-E 63-A86-D 76-D 60-D85-D 75-E 57-B83-B 75-C 50-C
2. Separate the top 27% and the bottom 27% of the papers. The former is called the upper group (U) and the latter, lower group (L). Set aside the middle group.
30 students x 27% = 88 papers from the upper group and 8 papers from the lower group should be analyzed.
Upper 27% Lower 27%
98-E 73-E
97-E 72-E
95-A 70-E
94-A 65-D
90-E 63-A
89-C 60-D
87-E 57-B
86-D 50-C
3. Record the frequency from step 2
Options A B C D E*Upper (27%)
2 0 1 1 4
Lower (27%)
1 1 1 2 3
4. Compute the percentage of the upper group that got the item right and call it U.
U= 4/8 (100)U= 50%
Where: 4= Number of right items
8= Number of cases of upper 27%
5. Compute the percentage of the lower group that got the item right and call it L.
L=3/8 (100)L= 37.5%
Where: 4=Number of right items8=Number of cases of upper 27%
6. Average U and L percentage and the result is the difficulty index of the item. U+L/2=difficulty index
50%+37.5% / 2 = difficulty index
87.5 / 2 = 43.75 %
7. Use the table of equivalents below in interpreting the difficulty index:
.00-.20 Very difficult
.21-.80 Moderately difficult
Retained
.81-1.00 Very Easy
8. Estimate the discrimination index.In the foregoing sample, four students in the upper group and three students in the lower group chose the correct answer. This shows positive discrimination, since the upper group got the item right more frequently than the students of the lower group.
Negative discriminating power is obtained when more students in the lower group got the right answers than the upper group.
Index of discrimination = RU-RL/NG
Where: RU= right responses of the upper group
RL= right responses of the lower group
NG= number of students in each group
To illustrate:Index of discrimination= 4-3/8
= 1/8=.125
9. Refer to the table of equivalents below in interpreting the discrimination index.
.00-.19 Poor item Rejected
.20-.29 Moderate (reasonably good item)
Rejected or revised
.30-up Very good item
Retained
10. Determine the effectiveness of the distracters.
A good distracter attracts students in the lower group more than in the upper group.
Hence, for our illustrative item analysis data in step 3:
Options:
Options A B C D E*
Upper (27%) 2 0 1 1 4
Lower (27%) 1 1 1 2 3
B Good: because more students from the lower groups are attractedD
A Poor: since it attracted more students in the upper groupC Fair: because both the upper and the lower groups have
the same frequencyE (the correct answer) Good: because more students from
the upper group choose the correct answer.
SKEWNESS AND
KURTOSIS
Skewness: is the degree of asymmetry, or departure from symmetry of a distribution.
Skewed to the Right (positive skewness): If the frequency curve of a distribution has a longer “tail” to the right of the central maximum than to the left. Most scores are below the mean.
Illustration:
Positive Skewness: Low Performance: Mean is greater than the mode
Skewed to the Left (negative skewness): if the frequency curve of a distribution has a longer “tail” to the left of the central maximum than to the right. Most scores are above the mean and there are extremely low scores.
ModeMean Median
Illustration:
Negative Skewness: High Performance: Mean is lower than the mode
Kurtosis: is the degree of peakedness of a distribution, usually taken relative to a normal distribution.
Leptokurtic: A distribution having a relatively high peak
Platykurtic: a distribution having
flat-topped.
Mesokurtic: a distribution which is
moderately peaked.

STATISTICAL TOOL
Measures of Central
Tendency -
describes the representative value of a set
of data
Measures of Variability
–Describes the
degree of spread or
dispersion of a set of data
When the frequency
distribution is regular/
symmetrical/normal
Mean-Computational average-Affected by extreme scores-Most reliable among the measures of central tendency
Standard Deviation- the root mean square of the deviations from the mean-the most reliable measure of variability
When the frequency
is irregular / skewed
Median- Positional average-middle score-measure of location-50th percentile-the most stable measure of central tendency because it is not affected by the magnitude of the scores
Quartile Deviation- the average deviation of Q1 and Q3-the most stable measure of variability-commonly used as measure of dispersionor variability
When the distribution of scores is normal and
quick answer is needed
Mode- Nominal average-the score with highest frequency
Range- the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of observation

GRADING AND
REPORTING
Grading: is the process of assigning value to a performance. Purposes of Grading 1. Certify learners mastery of a specific content or level of achievement2. Identify, selecting and grouping learners for a particular academic programs3. Providing information in diagnosis and planning4. Helping learners improve their school
performance
Approaches to GradingLetter Grades: ( A, B, C, D)Generally used in marking learners’ performance on products other than objective tests.Correspond to verbal descriptions such as excellent or outstanding, good, average, or acceptable.Provide an overall indication of performance.
Percentage: (70%, 75%, 80%)Indicate the percentage of items answered correctly.Gives a finer discrimination in learners’ performance than letter grades.Communicates only a general indication of learners’ performances.
Pass/FailShows mastery or no mastery of learning objectives.Does not clearly reflect the learners’ actual level of performance.
Two Methods of Interpretin
g Scores
Absolute or Criterion-Referenced GradingGrading is based on fixed or absolute standards where grade is assigned based on how a student has met the criteria or the well-defined objectives of a course that were spelled out in advance.
Advantages:Matches learner performance with clearly defined objectivesDiscourages competition
Disadvantages:Difficulty in establishing clearly defined learning outcomes and setting standards that indicate masterySubject to error leniency Scores depend on the difficulty of the test
Relative or Norm-Referenced GradingAlso known as grading on the curveBased on comparing learners’ performance to each other
Advantages:May result in higher level or more complicated assessments that can be challenging to learners.May ensure the distribution of grades on the basis of scores in relation to one another, regardless of the difficulty of the test.
Disadvantages:Encourages competition among learnersMay affect learners’ social relations
GUIDELINES IN GRADING STUDENTS1. Explain your grading system to the students early in the course and remind them of the grading policies regularly.2. Base grades on a predetermined and reasonable set of standards.
3. Base your grades on as much objective evidence as possible.4. Base grades on the student’s attitude as well as achievement, especially at the elementary and high school level.
5. Base grades on the student’s relative
standing compared to classmates.
6. Base grades on a variety of sources.
9. When failing a student, closely follow school procedures.
7. As a rule, do not change grades.8. Become familiar with the grading policy of your school and with your colleagues’ standards.
