Description
Summary:In present days modern computer tools and information technologies implementation in educational process are widespread. The main purpose of computer-based testing shifted from the assessment instrument of learning outcomes to the purpose of teaching. Performance criteria of learning mathematical tests are not yet studied properly. The objectives of the present work are: to formulate the performance criteria of learning math tests; to evaluate the relevance of achievement test performance criteria for the evaluation of learning test results. Learning math tests should be informative, valid, reliable, discriminative. The research subjects are test results in mathematical analysis 21 tests. Several methods of statistics are used (sample mean, sample standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, etc.) to study these criteria. We found out our tests informative, discriminative criterion, valid, nevertheless, we describe the tests at hand are not always have a high reliability.
