Kursus ini bermula dengan sejarah dan seterusnya memperkenalkan berbagai-bagai teori dalam pengukuran dan penilaian. Teori-teori ini dijadikan asas dalam pemilihan pelbagai instrumen yang digunakan dalam penyelidikan, pendidikan, latihan dan bimbingan seperti ujian kecerdasan, ujian personaliti, ujian pencapaian dan ujian bakat. Penekanan juga diberi kepada cara-cara pentadbiran, pemberian markah dan penafsiran hasil ujian-ujian tersebut.
GGGB6333 Theory of Measurement and Evaluation
Beginning the course with its history, it develops in imparting the various theories encompassing measurement and evaluation. Using these theories as basis, various types of instruments used in research, education and guidance such as IQ test, personality test as well as achievement test. Emphasis will also be given on the administration of the tests, awarding of marks, and interpreting test results.
