    The document discusses different types of measuring instruments: 1. Standard tests are useful for a variety of situations and systems, but less relevant for particular situations. They are prepared by experts to be universally applicable. Teacher-made tests are used to evaluate student progress in a particular school and allow teachers to assess student strengths and weaknesses. 2. Tests can be classified based on their construction as structured (objective) tests which require set responses, or unstructured tests which allow any response. They can also be classified based on the number of examinees as individual tests for one person, or group tests for multiple people. 3. Standard tests have advantages of being valid, reliable, and allowing comparison to norms. However

    CLASSIFICATION OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

    1. Differentiate teacher-made tests from the standard tests.


    Standard test
     It is useful to variety of situation of situation of systems.
     It is less relevant for a particular situation
     Universal applicability it’s there and are prepared by experts and cater to all peoples
    requirements.
     This is valuable to teachers
     It is less valid than teacher made test.
     There are not simple in construction, where the content scoring and interpretation all
    get fixed or standardized for a particular age group, students of the same grade, at
    different times and at different places.

    Teachers-made test
     Basically teacher made test are used to evaluate the progress of the students in school.
    However, the specific use of tests may vary from school to school and teacher or
    teacher.
     The test results can be used for students, teachers, and for other administrative
    purposes.
     These test are very simple to use.
     Teacher can assess the strengths and weaknesses of students
     Test are conducted continuously and children get immediate feedback.

    2. How do you classify tests according to the following?


    According to Construction
    Structured test
    The examinee is required to respond within the framework or design of the test and correct
    responses are expected. Examples are objective tests whether standardized or teacher-made.
    These are also called restricted tests because there are restrictions imposed.
    Unstructured test
    The examinee is free to respond in any way he likes, thinks, feels, or has experienced and there
    are no incorrect answers. Examples are objective tests whether standardized or teacher-made.
    These are called unrestricted tests because there are no restrictions imposed.
    According to the Number of Persons to Whom Test Administered
    Individual test
    This test is administered to only one person at a time. Examples are personality tests that can
    be given to only one person at a time.
    Group test
    This is a test that can be given to more than one person at a time. Intelligence tests and
    achievement tests are usually given to several persons at a time
    3. What are the advantages of standard tests? Their limitations?
    Advantages of standard tests:
     Generally valid and reliable
     Accompanied by manuals of instructions concerning their administration and scoring
    and so there are no problems how they are administered and scored.
     Have norms with which a test results are compared and given meaning. Hence,
    interpretation of test results is easy.
     Can be used again and again provide they are not given to the same group twice. Their
    validity and reliability will be affected because of the effect of practice if given again and
    again to the group.
     Provide a comprehensive coverage of the basic knowledge, skills, abilities, and other
    traits that are generally considered essential.

    Limitations of standard tests


     Contents may not really correspond to the expected outcomes of the instructional
    objectives in a particular school, subject, or course. This is especially true with
    standard achievement tests. Hence, very careful selection has to be done if standard
    tests are to be used for measurement.
     Very objective they may not be able to measure the ability to reason, explain,
    contrast, organize one’ ideas, and the like.
     Right kind for a purpose may be very scarce and hard to find.
