Approach to Test Development

An Approach to Test Development Tests are having an increasing impact on what goes on in schools. A good test can support and inform teachers in their work. It will encourage good teaching practice, with a coherent, holistic approach to the curriculum. It will focus on pupils' understanding, rather than on their memory. And it will be accessible, as it stands, to pupils with a wide range of special educational and assessment needs. This book explains some of the nuts and bolts of sound test development. Written by a teacher and test developer, it will be of interest to anyone who wants to * choose a test to use in the classroom; * interpret test results; * write test questions; * manage the development of a large-scale testing project. Using straightforward, readable language, An Approach to Test Development offers an insight into the sometimes puzzling world of tests and testing.
