Utilization of Assessment Data - Scoring

This document discusses norm-referenced tests and criterion-referenced tests. Norm-referenced tests are standardized tests designed to compare test takers to each other, with scores reported as percentiles that indicate performance compared to peer groups. Criterion-referenced tests measure performance against a fixed criteria or standards, with all students theoretically capable of passing or failing based on meeting expectations. Some examples of each type of test are provided, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Both test types are used to score learner performance, but are designed and applied differently depending on the testing purpose.

Objectives

 Toknow and describe norm-referenced


tests and criterion-referenced tests and
where they are applied
 Toformulate generalization from the
differences of norm-referenced test and
criterion-referenced test
SCORING

 simply getting marks or score


 marks or score are acquired in tests
 marks or score are denoted by numbers
TESTS WHERE TEACHERS GET SCORES OF
LEARNERS

NORM-REFERENCED TESTS
CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTS
Norm-Referenced Tests

 refers to standardized tests that are


designed to compare and rank test takers in
relation to one another
Norm-Referenced Tests

 Scores from these tests report whether test takers


performed better or worse than a hypothetical
average student, which is determined by
comparing scores against the performance results
of a statistically selected group of test takers,
typically of the same age or grade level, who
have already taken the exam.
Norm-Referenced Tests

 Norm-referenced scores are generally reported as


a percentage or percentile ranking.

Example
If your score is at the 80th percentile, it means that
you scored better than 80% of your group or class
Examples of Norm-Reference Tests
 College Entrance Exams
 compares all applicants scores and those who
excels among that took the exam will be
accepted. Some universities in the US only
take those who got scores in 75th percentile
 Intelligence Quotient (IQ) Tests
 the average score is at 100, and your
intelligence will be interpreted if you got
below or above that average
 PRC Board Examinations (like LET)
Criterion-Referenced Tests

 refers to assessments designed to measure


student performance against a fixed set of
predetermined criteria
Criterion-Referenced Tests

 Scores from these tests used to evaluate whether


students have learned a specific body of
knowledge or acquired a specific skill set
Criterion-Referenced Tests

 Every student taking the exam could theoretically


fail if they don’t meet the expected standard;
alternatively, every student could earn the
highest possible score. On criterion-referenced
tests, it is not only possible, but desirable, for
every student to pass the test or earn a perfect
score.
Examples of Criterion-Reference Tests
 Driving Tests
 the goal of this test is to see if the
applicant is skilled enough to handle a
vehicle.
 Citizenship Tests
 these test only need to know if the
examinee is familiar with the country’s
history and government.
 TESDA National Certificates (NC)/
Certificate of Competency (COC)
Comparison of NRT and CRT
Advantages of Norm-Reference Tests

 Simple
 Tested and Always Revised
 Shows who needs specific educational needs
 Decreases bias or favoritism
Disadvantages of Norm-Reference Tests

 Can easily be misused


 Encourages teachers to see their students as only
numbers
 Promotes memorization over other cognitive skills
 Discrimination
Advantages of Criterion-Reference Tests

 Measure Progress
 Fairer and promote greater Equity
 Promotes the use of higher-level cognitive skills
Disadvantages of Criterion-Reference Tests
 Not flexible
 Highly subjective and misleading
 Tests can easily be exploited
 Predictable
Conclusion

 Scoring is simply getting marks from tests


 Norm-reference tests are standardized tests that ranks
and compare test takers
 Criterion-reference tests are tests that has predetermined
criteria the test takers need to fulfill
 There are several situations that norm-reference tests are
more appropriate than the latter type, the same as
criterion-reference tests. They both have advantages and
disadvantages that need to be monitored when you
became a teacher.
