My Target
In episode 3, I must be able to examine the content validity of a
test/quiz given by at least 3 resource teachers, see the connection
between table of Specifications and test validity and construct test
with content validity.
My Performance (How I will be rated)
Field Study 5, Episode 3-TEST WITH CONTENT VALIDITY
Focused on: Content validity of test/quiz, the connection between Table of
Specifications and test validity and constructing test with content validity.

3. My Map
1. I will review “Development of Assessment
Tools” in Assessment of Learning 1,
2007 by Santos, Rosita, pp. 36-53 and
Assessment of Learning 2, pp.14-22 and
Refer to other references on Assessment of
Learning.
2. Interview my resource Teachers on
Steps they take to ensure content validity
of their tests.
3. Secure copies of a written quiz/test
And a lesson plan from my resource teacher
Upon which the quiz/tests is based and a
copy of a table of Specifications.
4. Answer given questions for analysis.
5. Reflect on my observations.
My Tools
A. Interview
1. I will ask my Resource Teachers this question: “What do you do/ what does
your school to ensure the content validity of your periodic tests?”

4. B. Documentary Analysis(Lesson plans with the accompanying quiz/test)
My documentary analysis will be guided by this question: “Does the
quiz/tests measure what it is supposed to measure?”

My Analysis
1. What has a table of specification (TOS) to do with the content validity of tests?

2. If validity as a characteristic of test means that a test must measure what is
supposed to measure, is a multiple choice type of Test valid to determine
learning of manipulative skill like focusing a microscope? Explain.

5. 3. Do we have other types of validity of a test other than content validity?
Research for an answer.

My Reflections
Write down what you learned on what to do to ensure validity of tests. Did you
ever experience taking a test which was very difficult because the Items were not
at all in class? How did it affect you? How will you prevent your future pupils /
students from experiencing the same?

My Portfolio
1. Research on at least two forms at TOS. Paste them at the next blank page.
Between the two, which do you prefer?
6. 2. Copy one lesson objective from my resource teacher (or use same lesson
objective that I used in the My Tools portion, letter B Documentary Analysis of
this Episode).I will develop an appropriate and valid quiz/test to measure
attainment of that lesson objective.

7. 3. Following the new version of Bloom’s taxonomy of Objectives, formulate a
lesson objective for each level and a corresponding valid test item. (Don’t worry if
in writing the sample question, beyond the triangle.)
