This is also reflected in the formulation of specific tasks and tests of another type. For example, the Achievement Test in Russian language may contain task: 'Underline the answer, which correctly stated the number of words in this sentence: When the holidays come? "A) 5 b) 2 c) 4 d) 3. In a test of mental development task using the concepts of the Russian language course will be as follows: "You are offered three words. Between the first and second words, there is a link. Between the third and one out of five words offered in the choice, there are similar, the same connection.
This word, you should find and underline. Prudential often says this. Keyword: letter = sentence:? a) Union and b) the phrase, and c) word d) a comma, and e) book. In order to properly answer the questions within the test achievements, we need to know specific facts. In order to cope with a test of mental development, require the logical ability to work with the concepts (in our example, the concepts of "word" and "Offer"), to analyze them to find the essential features, set the logical connections, etc. The content of Achievement Test is not too different from the content of tests of mental development. Both, apparently, include the fact that students already known, but the level of intellectual development is less dependent on previous experience learning specific academic disciplines than the level of student achievement.
Achievement Test Counter subjective methods to verify knowledge such as oral and written survey. First of all, the tests provide objectivity to the test. For example, when checking spelling dictation skills not give such objective information, which will provide specially designed test. Teachers dictate a different pace with different accentuation, and the same student who writes the dictation on the same orfogramm, different teachers may make different mistakes. The instructions for the test give exact directions on how to pronounce the word, when and in what grade are tested, installed, should dictate how the proposal, how many times can you repeat the word, and so on objective tests of achievements enables the processing of test results. Estimates of the same written work by different teachers may differ significantly from each other. Among the factors that affect teachers in assessing written work, usually there are the following: the volume of written products, grammatical and spelling errors (even if the content is assessed exclusively), the handwriting, the sequence in which the assessed work, sex teacher and student to student ratio. Test set up so that their performance is enough to write a number, word, put a cross or underline the appropriate answer. Formulated in a manner provided with keys and samples of typical responses, task almost impossible differences in processing the results. Achievement Test, as any other test that is inherent in the objectivity of the interpretation of measurement results. Exhibiting mark, the teacher uses not established performance standards, as well as his personal scale of quality assessment, often focusing on the performance level class on one or another place of discipline in the educational program. Thus, the mark for one and the same figure of the same student teacher school with an aesthetic bias and secondary school teachers may be quite different. Achievement tests are free of these shortcomings, of course, subject to competent their preparation and application.
