RELIABILITY VALIDITY

WILL DIFFERENT TEACHERS MARK THE TEST DIFFERENTLY OR WILL THE MARK BE THE SAME?

IS THE TEST MEASURING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO MEASURE? Why was reading comprehension tested by answering open questions???


Composition: 4 points

The following aspects will be evaluated separately on a scale of 0 to 10 points.

Grammar (25 % of the composition grade) Two different aspects will be contemplated under this heading:

• the correct and appropriate use of morphological and syntactic structures

• the range (variety and complexity) of structures used.

Vocabulary (25 % of the composition grade) Two main aspects will be considered:

• the range and appropriate use of vocabulary (variety of semantic fields, richness, phrasal verbs, collocations,

idiomatic expressions, linking words,...).

• the correct spelling of words.

Text / Paragraph building (25 % of the composition grade) Two main aspects will be examined:

• The clarity of organization of ideas within the sentence, the paragraph and the text

• The clear and correct use of punctuation and text markers.

Maturity (25 % of the composition grade) Aspects contemplated in this category:

• The skillful handling of the topic (clear thinking, good outline, well-reasoned ideas, creativity, ...) Reminders

Wrong format: If a composition does not follow the format (letter, dialogue, news report, diary, for and against argumentation, description,

narrative, ...) of the chosen option, it will be penalized up to 1 point.

Copying from the text: the use of full sentences or fragments taken from the text will not be considered as personal writing.

Insufficient length. Compositions under 100 words will be penalized up to 1 point.

Wrong topic: No points will be given to a composition written on a topic not included in the two given options.

A MEMORABLE TEST YOU REMEMBER BECAUSE OF

ITS FORMAT OR ITS OUTSTANDING PROCEDURE




We must create a RELIABLE and VALID assessment tool that allows the teacher to see HOW MUCH our students have achieved allowing them to see

their STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES


A document that articulates the expectations for an assignment by listing the criteria, or what counts, and

describing levels of quality from excellent to poor. Rubrics can teach as well as evaluate. When used as

part of a formative, student-centered approach to assessment, rubrics have the potential to help

students develop understanding and skill. http://rubistar.4teachers.org/
