Mini Series: Testing Basics

Testing Basics

60 to 90 Minutes

This mini-webinar defines what constitutes a test, and what makes a test valid and reliable.  It describes the different types of tests comparing them in terms of their fidelity and what knowledge, skill, and ability each is designed to assess.  It compares the types of tests based on their fidelity (how life or work like they are).  This is first topic in the mini series on testing.  The other topics are deciding what and how to test, multiple-choice questions, performance items, checklists, and rubrics.

• Explain what is a test according to the American Psychological Society.

• Explain how the different types of test compare in terms of their fidelity.
