| Question | Answer |
| Achievement Test | A standardized test designed to efficiently measure the amount of knowledge and/or skill a person has acquired, usually as a result of classroom instruction. Such testing produces a statistical profile used as a measurement to evaluate student learning in comparison with a standard or norm. |
| Alternative Assessment | Alternatives to traditional, standardized, norm- or criterion-referenced traditional paper and pencil testing. |
| Assessment | Is an ongoing process aimed at understanding and improving student learning. It involves making our expectations explicit and public; setting appropriate criteria and standards for learning quality; systematically gathering, analyzing, and interpreting evidence to determine how well performance matches those expectations and standards, and using the resulting information to document. |
| Evaluation | Both qualitative and quantitative descriptions of student behavior plus value judgments concerning the desirability of that behavior. Using collected information (assessments) to make informed decisions about continued instruction, programs, activities. |
| Formative Assessment | Observations which allow one to determine the degree to which students know or are able to do a given learning task, and which identifies the part of the task that the student does not know or is unable to do. Outcomes suggest future steps for teaching and learning. |
| Holistic Method/Holistic Scoring | In assessment, assigning a single score based on an overall assessment of performance rather than by scoring or analyzing dimensions individually. |
| Indirect Assessment Methods | Assessment methods that involve perceptions of learning rather than actual demonstrations of outcome achievement (e.g. alumni surveys, employer surveys, exit interviews). |
| Summative Assessment | Assessment conducted after a program has been implemented and completed to make judgments about its quality or worth compared to previously defined standards. |
| Validity | The test measures the desired performance and appropriate inferences can be drawn from the results. The assessment accurately reflects the learning it was designed to measure. |
| Reliability | The measure of consistency for an assessment instrument. The instrument should yield similar results over time with similar populations in similar circumstances. |
