Features: "Teaching Tests and Evaluation" provides us with many valuable experiences in carrying out related research and practice. This book focuses on the development of testing and evaluation tools for primary and secondary school teachers, such as how to create various objective questions like fill-in-the-blank, true/false, matching, and multiple-choice, how to use interpretive exercises, essays, performance tasks, and portfolios to evaluate students' complex academic achievements, and how to assess students' attitudes, emotions, and values through observation, peer evaluation, and self-report methods. How to develop and apply testing and evaluation tools in teaching to fully leverage the role of evaluation in promoting student learning and improving teachers' instruction is a concern for both primary and secondary school teachers and researchers. This book not only introduces the techniques and requirements for creating various question types in traditional paper-and-pencil tests but also explores emerging evaluation methods such as portfolios and performance-based assessment, which are highly valued in China's current curriculum reform, as well as the evaluation of attitudes, emotions, and values. It is highly suitable for primary and secondary school teachers and researchers to read and reference.
