Preparing a Table of Specifications

ARACELI L. BIO Master Teacher II, TCS

I know what I need to do, so I dont need to plan.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

ACTIVITY 1
1. Write a word in the meta card which will explain why theres a need to prepare a Table of Specifications. 2. Post your answer on the board. 3. Explain why you have written that word.

ACTIVITY 2
1. Write an element / part of a Table of Specifications in the meta card. 2. Post your answer on the board. 3. Describe the part that you have identified.

ACTIVITY 3
1. Tell if how many items should be given in each case.

1. How do you find the activity? Why? 2. Were you satisfied of your answers? Why? 3. What helped you in accomplishing your task successfully? What hindered you in coming up with the expected answers? 4. What have you realized as far as TOS preparation is concerned? 5. What will make you confident in preparing a comprehensive TOS when you go back to your classroom?

a chart which describes the topics to

be covered by a test and the number


of items or points which will be

associated with each topic.

a test plan that classifies each item

according to what topic or concept it


tests AND what objectives it

addresses.

A table which helps in writing a

test with content validity there


is a match between what was

taught and what is tested.

This table helps you insure that

you emphasize the same content you emphasize in day-to-day instruction


e.g. more items about topic X and fewer about topic Y because you consider topic X to be more important and you spent more time on teaching it

This table helps you align test

items with learning objectives


e.g. important topics might include items that test interpretation, application, prediction, and unimportant topics might be tested only with simpler recognition items.

table helps you NOT to overlook or underemphasize an area of content.
