Psychomotor response

A standardized test can have which type or reliability?

Test-retest reliability

Indicate whether the following statements regarding standardized tests are true or false.

__2__ Standardized tests can be adapted to various conditions - ex. more time can be given, different questions can be asked, etc. (2) When a criterion is used as a frame of reference for evaluating the test, this means the child's results are being compared to those of others who have also taken the test. __2__ When selecting a standardized test to use as an assessment, consideration must be given to practical matters such as time needed to complete the test and cost of administering/scoring it. (1) When administering a standardized test, the developmental abilities of the child being tested must be considered. __2__ Test - retest is a good way to establish validity for standardized tests. __1__ An aptitude test would be given as a way to predict future ability given proper instruction and experience. __2__ Infants are good subjects to evaluate because their attention spans are long and development is fairly stable.

Indicate whether the following descriptions are reflective of a summative evaluation, formative evaluation, or both.

__2__ may include a pre-assessment to determine at what level the learning activities should be geared to initially (1) determines if the child is ready to move on to the next step in the scope and sequence (or the next learning series) __1__ is used in school systems to report grades every 9 weeks and determine promotion to the next grade level __2__ occurs continuously throughout the learning series (3) a criteria for mastery must be established before this type of evaluation can occur __3__ can be tailored to the child and/or classroom through the use of teacher-designed assessments __1__ occurs at the end of the learning series to gauge mastery of the skill or knowledge (2) serves as a ongoing guide to instruction and planning in the classroom
