Title: TEACHER MADE TEST RELIABILITY: A COMPARISON OF TEST SCORES AND STUDENT STUDY HABITS FROM FRIDAY TO MONDAY IN A HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGY CLASS IN MONROE COUNTY OHIO
Author: Parr, Anita M
Description: Teacher-made tests make up a great percentage of a student’s grade point average for a high school biology class in Monroe Central High School in Monroe County, Ohio. A logical question to address would be, “Are there variances in teacher made tests?” A comparison of test scores and student study habits from Friday to Monday can answer this question. According to this researcher, if teacher-made tests are accurate measures of achievement, the scores should be consistent for tests given on Friday compared to tests given on Monday. A variation in the scores from Friday to Monday could indicate two types of discrepancies. First, variation in the results could indicate that tests are not accurate measures of achievement because they are not consistent and reliable. Second, variation in the results could indicate a change in student study habits over a weekend, or a prolonged absence from instruction. This research will attempt to evaluate both possibilities.
