Answer to Question #300444 in English for Ruth

Question

How best can a teacher know that assessment is reliable

Answer 1

The length of the evaluation — a lengthier evaluation yields more accurate results.

The questions or assignments are appropriate for the students being evaluated.

The way the questions were phrased and the vocabulary used.

The uniformity of test administration, such as the amount of time allotted for the assessment and the instructions given to students prior to the test.

The creation of a marking schedule as well as the supervision of marking procedures.

The learners' readiness for the assessment - for example, assessing pupils on a hot afternoon or right after physical activity may not be the optimal moment.
