1. Types of Evaluation

2. Evaluation – is classified according to the period in which it is conducted and whether or not the score of one student will affect the grade of other students.

3. A.) As to the period the evaluation is conducted in, there are three types: 1.) Formative Evaluation 2.) Summative Evaluation 3.) Diagnostic Evaluation

4. 1 .) Formative Evaluation Is a type of evaluation used to monitor the learning progress of the students during or after instruction.

5. Purpose of Formative Evaluation: 1.) to provide feedback immediately to both student and teacher regarding the success and failures of learning. 2.) to identify the learning errors that is in need of correction; 3.) to provide information to the teacher for modifying instruction and used for improving learning and instruction.

6. 2.) Summative Evaluation Is a type of evaluation usually given at the end of a course or unit.

7. Purpose of Summative Evaluation: 1.) to determine the extent to which the instructional objectives have been met; 2.) to certify student mastery of the intended outcome and used for assigning grades; 3.) to provide information for judging appropriateness of the instructional objectives; 4.) to determine the effectiveness of instruction.

8. 2.) Diagnostic Evaluation Is a type of evaluation given before instruction. It aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the students regarding the topics to be discussed.

9. Purpose of Diagnostic Evaluation: 1.) to determine th e level of competence of the students; 2.) to identify the students who have already the knowledge about the lesson; 3.) to determine the causes of learning problems and formulate a plan for remedial action.

10. B .) As to whether or not the score of one student will affect the grade of another student, there are two types: 1.) Criterion -Referenced Test 2.) Norm -Referenced Evaluation

11. 1 .) Criterion -Referenced Test Is a type of evaluation that describes what an examinee can do without reference to the performance of others.

12. 2 .) Norm -Referenced Evaluation Is a measure to find out how well a student performs on a defined set of tasks in relation with the performance of other students who take the same test.

13. Common Characteristics of Criterion-Referenced Test and Norm-Referenced Evaluation

14. Common Characteristics of Criterion-Referenced Test and Norm-Referenced Evaluation 1.) Both require specification of the achievement domain to be measured. 2.) Both require a relevant and representative sample of test items. 3.) Both use the same types of test items.

15. Common Characteristics of Criterion-Referenced Test and Norm-Referenced Evaluation 4.) Both used the same rules for item writing (except for item difficulty). 5.) Both are judge with the same qualities of goodness (validity and reliability). 6.) Both are useful in educational assessment.

16. Differences between Criterion -Referenced and Norm -Referenced Tests Criterion -Referenced Tests Norm-Referenced Tests 1.) Typically focuses on a delimited domain of learning tasks, with a relative large number of items measuring each specific task. 1.) Typically covers a large domain of learning tasks, with just a few items measuring each specific task. 2.) Emphasizes among individuals can and cannot perform. 2.) Emphasizes discrimination among individuals in terms of relative of level of learning. 3.) Matches item difficulty to learning tasks, without altering item difficulty or omitting easy or hard items. 3.) Favors items of large difficulty and typically omits very hard items. 4.) Interpretation requires a clearly defined and delimited achievement domain. 4.) Interpretation requires a clearly defined group.

17. C.) Other Type of Evaluation Placement Evaluation – is concerned with the entry performance of the student. The purpose of placement evaluation is to determine the prerequisite skills, degree of mastery of the course objectives and the best mode of learning.
