- Summary:
-
It is argued that, by design, norm-referenced tests (NRT) and criterion-referenced tests (CRT) are conceived with different frames of reference. They are not totally exclusive of each other, but they do direct attention to different uses and references for information and decision making. Their combined contributions allow a more detailed and comprehensive means of assessing the outcomes of an educational program. A historical perspective is given of the two types of tests and NRTs are discussed as to sampling and purposes. Different types of tests are designed to sample different universes and norm-, objective-, and criterion-referenced tests are distinguished in aspects of design, development, use, and interpretation. Several of the nationally-normed achievement tests may exhibit characteristics of both NRTs and CRTs to a greater or lesser degree, according to how CRTs are defined. Criteria for evaluating educational programs, performance objectives, and the criteria of educational progress are discussed, as well as the feasibility of using CRTs in large-scale or national programs.
