Test Construction
In my previous instructional postions, I was able to make my own tests & quizes. As we encourage our students to persue the ASE Certification Tests I always constructed my tests in that format; i.e. multiple choice, some with "refer to illustration" and usually 25 to 50 questions in length. In my opinion, by mimicking the ASE format and length we better prepare them for the actual type of written test they might eventually benefit from taking.
I heartily agree.In career education instruction that is closely alligned with what the student will be doing in their career is ideal. Similarly assessment should be geared to the competencies that the students should be attaining.
