Objectives of Testing
Look Beyond Scores
Teaching and testing are the yin and yang of education. Tests and their results can be used for a multitude of purposes from selection or placement in a program to measurement of attainment.
Traditionally, summative tests were used only with a pass-fail criterion in mind. Later, formative assessment helped shed more light on the degree and direction of learning with a chance of correcting the direction. However, modern tests are used for a large number of other reasons. Interpretation of the results obtained through rigorous testing can be used to make an array of decisions about the degree and quality of learning; i.e., learners’ strong and weak points as well as the effectiveness of instruction and relevance of the curriculum.
