What is the primary purpose of measurement in the context of evaluation?

• Data collection
• Decision making
• Student promotion
• Test administration
• Health-related fitness

How are measurement and evaluation related?

• They are entirely separate concepts.
• Measurement is a subset of evaluation.
• Evaluation is a subset of measurement.
• They are unrelated in educational contexts.
• Measurement always follows evaluation.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of measurement?

• Making judgments based on data
• Establishing evaluation standards
• Choosing the right test instrument
• Promoting student learning
• Setting fitness goals

What is the consequence of unreliable and invalid test results in the evaluation process?

• Enhanced decision making
• Improved measurement
• Accurate evaluation
• Inconsistent evaluation
• More reliable tests

Which component of the educational evaluation model determines what needs to be achieved?

• Pretest
• Instruction
• Measurement
• Evaluation
• Objective

Why might teachers need to develop their own tests in the educational evaluation model?

• Because standardized tests are always congruent with instructional objectives
• Because standardized tests are the most reliable
• Because standardized tests are free
• Because standardized tests may not align with their instructional objectives
• Because standardized tests are easier to administer

In the educational evaluation model, what is the purpose of the feedback loop from evaluation back to other components?

• To confirm the validity of the pretest
• To identify teachers' strengths and weaknesses
• To allow for adjustments in any component of the model
• To promote summative evaluation
• To discourage formative evaluation

What is the primary focus of the educational evaluation model?

• Test development
• The measurement of cognitive objectives
• The identification of suitable instructional methods
• Achieving measurable changes in behavior
• The establishment of evaluation standards

What does the educational evaluation model emphasize about the evaluation process?

• That it is a linear process
• That the pretest is the most critical component
• That measurement should precede objective setting
• That it is dynamic and iterative
• That it does not involve instruction

What type of evaluation is based on scores obtained early or midway through a program?

• Summative evaluation
• Objective evaluation
• Subjective evaluation
• Formative evaluation
• Informal evaluation
