Making the most of testing: An examination of different assessment formats

Authors
Abstract

A study conducted in conjunction with the National Education Monitoring Project examined four different assessment task formats. It found that different formats were appropriate, depending on the type of information the tasks were eliciting from students. A scheme was developed to classify the type of information collected and the assessment format therefore most appropriate to use.
