- to design a standardized test according to the previous analysis;
- to follow the technical rules and the recommendations for items and questionnaires construction ;
- to prepare and manage the delivering of an electronic or paper-pencil standardized test;
- to set up the adequate analyses to evaluate edumetric properties of tests;
- to interpret the results of these analyses and to draw the conclusions for the revision of the tools ;
- to elaborate a report interpreting the results of the managed tests; |
|
| Prerequisites : | None. |
|
| Workshops : | Theory and practical aspects of the course will be managed together
Read "Organization". |
|
| Organization : | The course follows a problem based learning approach. After some hours of theory, the students have to build themselves, in group, a pedagogical standardized test and go through the successive steps of construction of a standardized test. Depending of the difficulties and problems, additional training will be provided. |
