Begin Working On Week 6 Test Development Proposal Assignment
Students should be working on completing their Test Development Proposal, which is the final course assignment and isdue in Week 6. In previous weeks’ assignments, students have selected a construct of interest, discussed the purpose for developing an assessment to measure the construct, developed a research question(s), conducted a literature review and critique on current assessments used to measure the construct, and constructed a 12-15 test to measure the construct.
During Week 5, students should begin administering their tests to three to five family members, friends, co-workers, etc. As mentioned in Week 4, please ensure that each participant reviews the consent form (which should include the instructor’s information and student’s name) provided in the Week 4 Assignment folder See Participant Consent Form.doc). Since this proposal is completely anonymous, you will not be required to return the consent forms, but will receive credit during Week 6 for acknowledging that you presented this to your participants.
Although the testing is completely anonymous, students will need to write a brief summary about the Methods used, including non-identifying information about the participants (e.g. age, gender, occupation, education level, etc.) and how the test was administered (e.g. the setting, was it administered in person or via a computer, etc.). Thus, when administering the test to each participant, please be sure to record non-identifying information about the participant, as well as document how the test was administered to the participant.
