- 3. Test Interpretation Test Interpretation is the process of analyzing scores in a test and translating qualitative data into quantitative And grading into numerical . Score interpretation is same as test interpretation.
- 4. Scores: “A summary of the evidence contained in an examinee's responses to the items of a test that are related to the construct or constructs being measured." Types of Scores: Raw scores Scales Scores
- 5. • Raw Scores: The number of points received on a test when the test has been scored according to direction. Example: Ali got 10 out of a 20 scores in item quiz. Raw scores reflect an immediate interpretation as a response to the scores. It does not yield a meaningful interpretation because its just raw scores. Thus, we have to interpret Ali’s score in a more descriptive and meaningful way. • Scaled Scores: Scaled scores are the results of transformation (usually transformed through a consistent scale)
- 6. Methods of Interpreting Test Scores
- 7. CRITERIA
- 10. Criterion Referenced Interpretation Describes student performance according to a specified domain or clearly defined learning tasks. Concerned with national examination and other assessment bodies Used in the assessment of vocational and academic qualifications Results are given on a pass/fail, competent/not competent basis Results are conclusive and usually open to review
- 14. • Grade Norms: Name of Derived Scores Grade Equivalents Grade in which student’s raw score is average. • Percentile Norms Percentile of students in the reference group who fall below student’s raw score Name of Derived Scores Percentile Ranks
- 15. • Standard Scores Norms Name of Derived Standard Scores Distance of student’s raw score above or below the mean of the reference group in terms of standards units • Stanine (Standard NINE) is a method of scaling test scores on a nine-point standard scale with a mean of five and a standard deviation of two.
- 16. NORM REFERENCED INTERPRETATION ADVANTAGES It is very easy to use. It is appropriate to a large group of students that is, more than 40 It increases the healthy competition among the students. The teacher easily identifies learning criteria – the percentage of students who receive highest grade or lowest grade. DISADVANTAGES The performance of a student is not only determined by his achievement, but also the achievement of the other students It promotes intense competition among the students rather than cooperation It cannot be used when the class size is smaller than 40. Not all the student can pass the given subject or course
- 17. CRITERION REFERENCED INTERPRETATION ADVANTAGES The performance of the students will not be affected by the performance of the whole class. It promotes cooperation among the students All students may pass the subject or course when they meet the standard set by the teacher DISADVANTAGES It is difficult to set a reasonable standard if it is not stated in the grading policies of the institution All students may not pass the subject or course when they do not meet the standard set by the teacher or the institution.
