Teaching student’s knowledge
is not enough for the students. The teacher should assess these skills to make
sure that the students mastered the knowledge and skills. There are various types of assessment tools
but whatever the type was, its aim is to improve students understanding. The
most common method for assessment is testing. These tests should be well
prepared so that they assess students in a good way. Regardless of the type of
the assessment used, all tests should possess two characteristics: validity and
reliability. When the assessment results are adequate and appropriate that
means the test is valid. A valid test means that it matches the targets and
objectives which had been discussed in the class. Reliability is another
characteristic of the assessment result in which it refers to the consistency
of the scores. For example, when we
repeat the exam the students should take approximately the same score as the
first time.
