- Summary:
-
This paper attempts to provide practical guidance to those individuals responsible for selecting or developing instruments for assessment programs. The question of what to measure in an assessment program is addressed at a global and a specific level. Once a developer has identified the areas to be assessed, it is necessary to consider the reporting plans for the program. Whether reporting is by group or individual, the nature of the reporting planned and the types of instruments needed to accomplish it need to be considered. After assessment areas are selected, appropriate instruments need to be selected. Some helpful sources (listings and evaluations of existing tests) are given. In the development of new assessment instruments, six areas are to be considered: initial planning and allocation of responsibility, development of instrument specifications, item development, pretesting, use of item analysis, and final test assembly. Each of these areas is considered at some length. (Author/RC)
