STANDARDIZED TESTING
-
-
-
Limited assessment scope: May not capture the full range of students' knowledge, skills, and abilities, as they focus mainly on rote memorization and test-taking skills.
Narrow curriculum focus: Can lead to a "teaching to the test" approach, where educators prioritize test content at the expense of a broader and more holistic education.
High-stakes consequences: Results can have significant implications for students, teachers, and schools, leading to pressure, stress, and potential bias.
Standardization limitations: Students have diverse learning styles and abilities that standardized tests may not fully account for, resulting in an incomplete picture of their capabilities.
Potential for inequity: Standardized tests may perpetuate educational disparities and disadvantage certain student groups, such as English language learners or students from low-income backgrounds.

Content selection: Determine the subject matter and skills that align with the educational standards or learning objectives being assessed.
Test construction: Design and develop the test items, ensuring they are clear, valid, reliable, and unbiased.
Pilot testing: Administer the test to a representative sample of students to identify any issues with the items or the administration process.
Standard setting: Establish performance benchmarks or cut-off scores to determine proficiency levels or grade classifications.
