  3. Oral Response Test Examiner questioning, speaking while examinee responds orally back. Focuses on student learning.

  4. Advantages in Oral Response 1. Useful in primary school level students such as: -Low or no reading/writing skills -Reading disabilities -Foreign or limited students 2. Flexibility in testing or unique situations 3.Useful in written test which can't be measured 4.Great for individual exams. 5. Additional questioning in depth and restating questions.

  5. Disadvantages in Oral Response 1. Time Consuming 2. Ineffective method for test data collection 3. Inappropriate for group testing 4.Misunderstanding/misinterpreting responses

  6. Construction Type of questions to ask. Recommendation for oral response and receiving verbal response to it. Avoid similar words. Length and complexity

  7. Examples: Who is the president of the United States? What is nine plus seven? What is 25 in French? ___________________________________________________________________________ Name two ways police can help people? Count from 1 to 10 in French? ___________________________________________________________________________ What basic changes have occurred in transportation during the past 60 years and what influence have these changes had on society?

  11. Written Response Test Oral questioning by examiner with written answers by examinee. Used by many teachers in classroom. Advantages Examinees responds to every item. More questions for examinees. Other situations- Auditory comprehension Limited reading skills, written performance ability Test reduction shortage

  12. Disadvantages -Writing score -Depth in writing response -Small value in oral communication measurement. -Unfavorable compared to written exams. -Inefficient testing time. -Requirement of oral administration during testing. *Ambiguity due to word sound. *Reduction of length and complexity of questions.

  13. Construction Avoid similar words Length and complexity should be controlled. Prepare revisions before test usage. Example: What is 5 plus 7? Name the current President of the United States. Children should not play in the street. Mixing red and blue produces green. Define photosynthesis. List the symptoms of acute appendicitis.

To get full benefits from examinees, the examiner must have rate of dictation with pronounciation and vocabulary during construction to test. Selection of oral testing should be new or equally available.

  18. Administration and Scoring -Proper administration is essential and meaningful. -Have clear and distinct voice with carefully paced delivery, a uniform and consistent manner. -Environment should be appropriate and standard for oral performances as a measurement for examinees. -Format should be carefully thought out through construction of exam, usually more difficult preparing than the test. -Use rating scales, checklists, and rubrics. -Selection criteria to use on performances. -A checklist can improvise measurement due to time. -In a classroom, oral responses should be recorded. -Using sorting or point score method improves score reliability. -Criteria in scoring should be decided during test.
