Why is post-test important?
Why is post-test important? The purpose for this is to determine how much a student has progressed after finishing a chapter of semester of work. You are correct in stating that the teacher will not share (or show) the pre-test mistakes to the student, because the student will then know what to expect for the post-test.
How important is post-test?
The posttest provides summative data to teachers and students and ensures students start on the next unit together. Through the posttest, students and teachers can reflect on each student’s mastery from the unit, informing future learning activities to ensure student mastery.
Should a pre and post-test be the same?
The answer is yes, but the pre-test from both groups and the post-test from both groups should be the same to obtain meaningful results.
Are pretests effective?
Pretests measure student growth over time through comprehensive assessment. They can show a student’s level of understanding before and after instruction, even while instruction is still happening.
