Educational testing - from test development to psychometric analysis

Publication

Abstract

An integral part of university education is the evaluation of students' knowledge. This is done in different ways, from oral testing to written testing to various forms of practical testing.

Tests are often used to verify that a student has acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to continue teaching or to pursue a profession. They can also provide valuable feedback to teachers and students and become a basis for teaching management and continuous improvement.

The greater the impact of the test results on the student's fate or changes in teaching, the more the tests need to be of good quality - to measure knowledge and skills objectively, fairly and reproducibly.
