Test Construction Training

Introduction

Assessments are a cornerstone of education—they not only evaluate students’ understanding but also provide insights into their abilities and guide our teaching practices.

Our focus today is on how to design assessments that are:

1. Reliable—producing consistent results regardless of when or where the test is administered.

2. Valid—accurately measuring what they are intended to measure.

3. Representative—capturing the breadth of students’ understanding and abilities in a fair and comprehensive manner.

By the end of this training, you’ll have the tools and techniques to construct high-quality assessments that empower students and enhance the learning process. Let’s begin by exploring the foundational principles of effective test design.
