  1. Test and types of test in education

  2. What is Test? • A test refers to a tool, technique, or method that is intended to measure students’ knowledge or their ability to complete a particular task. 

  3. Types of Test • Objective Test • Subjective Test

  4. 1. Objective Test • These are tests in which performances are measured against a specific standard set of answers. For instance, there are right and wrong answers. • Examples of objective tests include • MCQS • Match the Colum • Right & Wrong • Fill in the Blanks

  5. 1. Multiple Choice Questions(MCQS) • Multiple-choice tests • In these types of tests, a statement of fact is made, followed by other alternatives; they can be four or five. Out of these five options, four are distractors, and only the correct or the best choice should be selected. • This type of questioning is effective as it can help measure different learning techniques. They are also easy to score and can prove one of the most effective testing tools. It can, however, be hard to construct or deploy those questions that measure higher critical thinking, especially with a higher number of distractors.

  6. Examples OF MCQS • Formative assessment is an assessment _______ learning. (A) to (B) of (C) by (D) for • Summative assessment is an assessment _______ learning. (A) to (B) of (C) by (D) for

  7. 2. Matching • As the name suggests, these types of tests in education only require students to match two sets of items that either form meaning or relate with each other. These tests help determine and evaluate students’ ability to distinguish the similarities or associations between symbols or objects. • These tests are most commonly used when the course work contains several concepts like: • Definitions of terms • Pictures, objects, and labels • Causes and effects • Scenarios and their responses

  8. Examples OF Matching items

  9. 3. True False True or false • Instructors make a factual or wrong statement with true or false items. Students respond on the correctness of the sentence or information. They’re easy to create and can test a variety of topics.  

  10. Example of True False • Gilgit Baltistan is located in the north of Pakistan. true • Dogs can understand up to 250 hand gestures .True • A group of crocodiles are called shrewdness. False

  11. 4. Fill in the Blanks • A Fill in the Blank question consists of a phrase, sentence, or paragraph with a blank space where a student provides the missing word or words • Example: • ______________is the capital of Pakistan. • He is senior ___________me.
