CBSE Handbook of Assessment and Evaluation: Best Practices in Item Design and Test Development for teachers
A robust system of continuous and adaptive assessment to continuously inform teaching learning processes and optimize learning for all students is a key focus area of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. In this context, the Central Board of Secondary Education in collaboration with Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, and Central Square Foundation has developed the Handbook of Assessment and Evaluation: Best Practices in Item Design and Test Development.
This handbook will help teachers of all subjects to design test items that are a valid and reliable measure of student learning. Some of the intended objectives of this handbook are to:
- Provide guidance for test developers who create questions or tasks for learning assessments;
- Ellaborate the role of a learning framework for item writing, characteristics, and development of high-quality assessment instruments; and
- Provide inputs for writing good items, including the construction of marking guides. This handbook breaks down the process of developing assessments into well-defined, easy to comprehend modules which would help teachers to design accurate test items for testing varied competencies.
The book is available on CBSE Academic website at the link
