Description
Students will be taught about the application of standardised tests and other instruments for evaluating performance and ability across the lifespan and disability or disorder. In addition, assessment of school-based tasks (mathematics, reading, expression, speech, play, etc) will be covered, and students will be exposed to the use of major tests of intellectual ability and emotional/personality development. Issues of test reliability, validity and norming are canvassed as a means of evaluating the usefulness of tests.
