Testing & Assessment
Introduction
Testing and Assessment general explanations
A “published” test refers to an instrument that is available for purchase from a commercial publisher. A test usually consists of a kit that includes test forms, scoring instructions and a manual with information about the test’s development, uses and its validity and reliability.
“Unpublished” test refers to instruments that are quite often developed by researchers for particular projects and may not have undergone strenuous standardization studies. The tests may appear as appendices to an article, within an article or dissertation.
