Classroom Assessment
Summary and Understanding
Validity theory which explain about the ability of the test to measured what needs to
be measured has grown out the practice of large-scale testing and classroom assessment.
While large-scale testing investigate on how score meaning can be generalized beyond the
condition of the test and whether or not it could be appropriate for particular target population
( national or interational scale), the classroom assessment aims togathering evidence of what
a student knows, understands, and is able to do. It can also help to identify students' learning
needs.

Context
The context term of a language test can be describe as the environment where
the test takes place. Context in the classroom is constructed of sets of learning
experiences which purpose is to lead to the language acquisition and communication,
including the seat settings, the rules of the classroom, the decoration, temperature of
the classroom and any other factors that might affect a test-takers performance. A
context should not be a burden for the learners so when the context affect the learners
performance, it considers there is something wrong.
evaluation.
5. Assessment is performance-based
Performance-based assessment includes some tasks which require the learner
to use their productive skill such as speaking and writing. Classroom assessment
almost entirely use this kind of task since the environment demand a situational
situation in which an interaction are needed such as communication and giving
feedback as it called as feature of the classroom context: collaboration between
learners.
6. Generalizability of meaning
Generalizability means how reliability and meaningful a test score is whether
the score is consistent or not. in large-scale thing reliability can be measured based on
stability, discrimination, test lenght, and homogeneity. When the score is not stable
then they could not be meaningful.
