This data is timely and easy-to-use, making it efficient for student feedback and informed instruction. Set your students, and yourself, up for success by administering a pre-test before your instruction begins. But I did not that case in the literature or I did not find it. What can I do? Thanks for your answer.
Jasmin, is your achievement test a final test measuring what the students learned during a term? If it is, it is not really a post-test. To avoid cheating, I would not give the same test to the same students who were not able to pass the first final. Make sure the questions are different but test on the same content learned during the term.
Hi Paul. I am giving an achievement test to my students. Can I give the same test to the same students who were unable to meet the cut off score? Thank you. Saima, Thank you for reading and your queries. The participants for both the pre and post-test should remain the same. When I gave my pre and post-tests in Thailand for EFL students, they were the same and did not have to be revised.
That was as late as and I do not know if there have been changes since I retired from teaching in Can I conduct pre-test on a sample of students and post-test on population? Can both be comparable? You have mentioned that same test can be used for both Pre and Post. I hear that it is practiced in health sciences but for education, it needs to be revised. Can i get reference for it? Drake, the real function of a post-test is to measure its result in comparison to a pre-test and determine how much a student has progressed over a term of instruction.
DoveFreexrolo , Thank you very much for your comments. I am very happy you found this hub helpful. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for reading and your comments.
Pre-tests and post-tests have the exact same content. The purpose for this is to determine how much a student has progressed after finishing a chapter of semester of work. You are correct in stating that the teacher will not share or show the pre-test mistakes to the student, because the student will then know what to expect for the post-test. What the teacher should do is point out in general terms what your child had problems with on the pre-test, so that he or she can practice and overcome deficiencies to do better on the post-test.
She does not. What is your opinion and reasons. The only reason for not sharing I can think of is that the pre-test "gives away" too much the structure of the post-test, making it easier to focus on how to do well specifically on the post-test rather than learning the material per se.
Seems a week argument, especially for 4th graders. I'm happy to help anytime and I am always trying to think of better ways to improve my tests. Hi Paul, Thank you for that. I have been 'arguing' that our school should not be using the same test for pre and post.
I understood that if they had been exposed to the test then it may affect the scores, as they could discuss the questions with each other, look up the answer etc etc hmmmm. Might have to go eat a piece of humble pie tomorrow morning at school.
