A Development of Measurement and Evaluation Competency Test for Teachers under the Office of The Secondary Service Area Office Nonthaburi

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop the measurement and evaluation competency test for teachers under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Nonthaburi. The four specific objectives were 1) to construct the measurement and evaluation competency test; 2) to validate the measurement and evaluation competency test; 3) to establish the local norms of measurement and evaluation competency test; and 4) to construct the manual of measurement and evaluation competency test. Samples for test validation and norms construction consisted of 487 teachers under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Nonthaburi, academic year 2022. The constructed measurement and evaluation competency test assisted of 45 items, which was a 4 choice situation item, aimed to assess 5 measurement and evaluation competency; factor 1 : design measurement and evaluation, factor 2 : creation and development of measurement and evaluation tools, factor 3 : implementation of measurement and evaluation in the classroom, factor 4 : reporting and utilizing the assessment results and factor 5 : Ethics in measurement and evaluation. The significant findings were as follows; 1) The content validity investigated by calculating the item and Operational definition congruence index (IOC), were in the range of 0.60 – 1.00. 2) The item difficulty index were in the range of 0.30 – 0.62. 3) The item discrimination index were in the range of 0.38 - 0.91. 4) The item distracters efficiency difficulty index were in the range of 0.06 -0.46 and discrimination index were in the range of -0.05 to -0.59 5) The construct validity achieved. Chi-Square (χ²) with 58 df was 72.81 (P=0.091); Standardized RMR was 0.034; RMSEA was 0.027; GFI was 0.97; AGFI was 0.95. The reliability for factor 1-5 was 0.748 0.791 0.565 0.546 and 0.78 respectively, and for the whole test was 0.895. 6) The norms for measurement and evaluation competency tests presented in the form of normalized T-score in the range of T37 – T68 for factor 1, in the range of T33 – T67 for factor 2, in the range of T26 – T67 for factor 3, in the range of T31 – T66 for factor 4, in the range of T41 – T66 for factor 5, and for the whole test was in the range of T26 – T71. 6) The manual of measurement and evaluation competency test was suitable and fully important composition, easy to understand and convenient for usability.
