APTITUDE TEST
PROGNOSTIC TEST
APTITUDE TEST
Use to measure:
-enter a particular preschool program
-enter elementary school
-successfully complete a challenging course of study in
secondary school
- successfully complete college-level work
- successfully complete graduate-work level, including a
course of study at a professional or trade school
necessary
APTITUDE TEST
depend not simply on the types of item it contained but also
on the intended use of the test.
4 Tools of Assessment
1. CHECKLIST
Is a questionnaire on which marks are made to indicate the presence
or absence of a specified behavior, thought, event, or circumstances.
2. R AT I N G S C A L E
Form completed by an evaluator to make a judgment of relative
standing with regard to a specified variable or list of variables.
4 Tools of Assessment
Three commonly used checklist and rating scale:
a) A c h e n b a c h C h i l d B e h a v i o r C h e c k l i s t
(CBCL)
)-has an eight syndrome: 1) anxious/ depressed
2)withdrawn/depressed 3) Somatic complaints 4)social
problems 5) thought problems 6) attention problems 7)
rule-breaking behavior 8) aggressive behavior
) S Y N D R O M E set of co-occurring emotional
and behavioral problems
4 Tools of Assessment
b) Connors Rating Scales-Revised (CRS-R)
screen for ADHD and other behavior problems and
particularly well suited for monitoring ADHD treatment
Tools of Assessment
3. TEST
- one hour is a rule of thumb limit for an entire test
session with a preschooler, as testing time increases so
does the possibility of fatigues and distraction
PRESCHOOL ASSESSMENT: screening tools may be used as a
first step in identifying children who are said to AT RISK
difficulty in one or more psychological, social or academic
areas
4. INTERVIEW
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
to identify areas of deficit to be targeted for
intervention
may contain a number of subtests to bring into focus
*can be used for evaluative purposes, and information from the evaluative tests
can provide diagnostic information
* administered to students who have already demonstrated problem in a
particular subject area through poor performance
Performance Assessment
- any type of assessment that requires the examinee to do more than
choose the correct response from a small group of alternatives
- focuses more on the knowledge, skills, and values that the examinee must
marshal and exhibit
- e.g. essay questions, development of an art project
Performance Task
- a work sample designed to elicit representative knowledge, skills, and
values from a particular domain of study
Performance Assessment
- evaluation of performance tasks according to criteria developed by
experts
Portfolio
Assessment
Use of portfolio assessment:
a.) to assess giftedness and reading (scholarly
literature)
b.) devices to assist students with career decisions
(college and graduate level)
Benefits:
a.) engage students in the assessment process;
b.) gives students the opportunity to think generatively;
c.) encouraging them to think about learning as an
ongoing and integrated process
Key drawbacks: technique may levy on the noncreative
student, inter-rater reliability
AUTHENTIC
ASSESSMENT
e.g. students writing skills, students reading skills,
