Knowledge Measurement Training

For organisations with existing tests, Enlight can provide training for managing tests using online and certification tools. Online-testing minimize the costs involved interpretation the results and makes the testing fair and correct. You get a direct overview over carried out tests and the test results for a group, a department and for an individual. In many cases we have helped customers improve tests by mapping and reviewing the current content. The quality of the existing test can be evaluated by us using test methods and statistics. Flaw questions can be identified and we can recommend how to amend these to improve the quality of the test.

Key training areas include:

Basic Test Theory

This workshop introduces fundamental test theory concepts such as error of measurement, validity, reliability and quality. We focus on knowledge assessments and different types of tests. We also discuss interpretation of results and the consequences of using test results in the wrong context.

Test Design

This training session is focused on the different steps that precedes item writing. You will learn the functionality of a syllabus and a test blue print when creating tests. An overview of test theory and quality aspects are also given.

Item Writing

Test guidelines are used when writing items in a test. This workshop teaches the participants how to write and review items. Examples of 'good' and 'bad' items are presented. You will also learn how to use several different computer based item types.

Validation

This workshop introduce the concepts of item and test analysis. Validity, reliability, p-value and D-index are presented. You will learn how to analyze a test and its items as well as different methods of setting cut-off scores.
