1. Assessment
Purpose:
(a) Even though NAS sample data is available, but for a more in depth analysis, there is a
need to survey on a census basis, to see how the system has responded to the inputs
provided towards developing an environment for learning to take place , at the desired
level.
(b) To provide each teacher in the state with an assessment tool and reports for
understanding the learning level of their students, diagnose learning gaps and identify
areas for improvement.
Details: Tests are needed for classes 3, 5 and 8 for following subjects:
Subject Class
Hindi (first
language)
3,5 and 8
Maths 3,5 and 8
English (2nd
lang.) 3, 5 and 8
Science 8
Social Science 8
Agency will have to do the following work:
Test Design
• Full length tests should be designed, covering different competencies based on research of
Haryana textbooks, NCF and ‘what is expected of students to know and do’ across school
systems. Test design will be owned by the Agency.
• Tests should have 20% of items that are of higher order and test conceptual understanding.
• Tests should have multiple choice questions plus free response items.
• The test papers for class 3 should be written and Oral. The test papers from class 5 onwards
should include only the ‘Written’ component.
• The papers should be accompanied by detailed score cards with scoring rubrics for each
item.
• A short manual that provides guidance to the evaluator for administering the test and
coding the student answers should be developed.
Test Development
• Ownership of developing test will be of the Agency.
• Agency should carry out 2 ( two) test development workshops of 5 days each for the SSA,
SCERT, DIET officials and senior teachers on designing assessment framework and developing
good questions/items. The workshops should have practical sessions where participants
25
should make items. Items should be selected by Agency’s expert team and included in the
assessment tests.
• Final test items should be content specific, technically sound and error free. The committee
of experts in subject areas and evaluation experts will fit the selected items in the grid (Blue
Print) prepared for each subject covering competencies/ text as per the assessment frame
work . The finalization of tests will be the responsibility of the agency.
• Capacity building workshops of 2-3 days on analysis of the data using IRT methodology are to
be conducted by the agency after data entry. Such workshops are to train research staff from
the government in all aspects of data analysis including advanced techniques to draw
inference on learning achievement.
Questionnaire development
School Questionnaire
• A school questionnaire that collects basic information about school infrastructure and school
practices should be designed for gathering inputs on school needs and also to identify
associated factors with learning.
• This should be merged with state MIS
Pupil questionnaire
Agency will take the responsibility of developing pupil questionnaire. In pupil questionnaire
student’s background, learning facilities at home , activities carried out after school etc should
be covered.
Teacher questionnaire
In this questionnaire, teacher related variables such as educational and professional
qualification, teaching style , employment status, no of training programmes attended, type of
problems faced etc. will be covered.
Training Programme for the administration of the tools:-
• Agency should carry out 2 workshops of 2 day each for administration of the tools. During
the workshops, the district officials and resource persons should be trained on the different
aspects of tools administration. Hands -on experience will also be provided to the
participants by taking them to a school for rolling out the tools. This will ensure quality of the
training as well as data collection procedure.
Test Conduction
• The state will provide print copies of the tools, scorecards and the manuals to each school.
• Evaluators will be assigned by the state to test schools. Evaluations will be a carried out by
the personnels selected by the state government. Evaluators will be a combination of DIET
interns & teachers from other schools, for the free response questions/ items. Marking
scheme will be provided separately.
26
• After tools conduction, the evaluators will evaluate the student answer /responses and
assign appropriate codes as provided in the scorecard
• For multiple-choice questions/items, the responses of the students will be transferred from
test booklet to separate response sheet (for class 3 & 5), by the person who administers the
test. Scoring will be done on the computers.
• The codes assigned for each item will then be entered student wise in a data entry template
form that will be provided to each school.
Data Entry and Reports Software Application
• Special online software application for entry of data and report generation should be
developed by the Agency.
• In each district headquarter; data entry operators will enter the data provided by the schools
in the data entry template of the software application(This is required only if tests are
evaluated manually and testing is not done on OMR. State can decide to use OMR sheets to
make this process faster).
• Once the data is entered and submitted online, the data will be checked and data error
reports generated. This is done in any case if tests are evaluated manually or scored through
scanned OMRs.
• The data entry operator will correct the data for errors pointed out by the error report. Only
codes may be corrected by the data entry operator ,with the permission of the higher ups
involved in data management.
• Once the data is cleaned and uploaded online, performance reports for each school should
be auto generated through the analysis module of the software application.
• The reports should be made available in the soft copy form that can be downloaded by the
schools.
• State will be able to assign access rights and can generate school, cluster, block and district
level reports.
Analysis and Reports
Once all the data from all districts is uploaded into the application, this data should be further
analysed to understand performance at subject, school, block, district and state level. The
analysis should provide for
• average scores
• standard deviation
• student distributions at different score points
• extent of zero scorers
• composite performance index of each district & block
• differences in overall performance of different districts and the significance of the same
• question wise performance analysis of the electronic data
• patterns on learning gaps across the state and in specific districts or blocks
27
• correlation analysis of factors, if any, contributing positively or negatively to learning
• any other factors affecting teacher motivation or teacher needs
Website for Access to Granular Data
• These reports should be made available in a searchable form in the website developed for
the diagnostic assessments
2. Third Party Diagnostic
Details: Tests will need to be for classes 3, 5 and 8 for following subjects:
Subject Class
Language (Hindi) 3,5 and 8
Maths 3,5 and 8
English 3, 5 and 8
Science 8
Social Science 8
Agency will have to do following work:
Test Design
• Development of Diagnostic tests - The tests should be designed to test a sample
(scientific and representative sample as suggested by the agency) of students to
provide an absolute and relative picture of student learning and learning gaps in
Haryana. The tests should be full-length / comprehensive tests designed for about 4 hours
for class 8 (5 subjects) and 3 hours for class 3 and 5 (3 subjects).
• Tests should be specially developed for Haryana based on research of Haryana textbooks,
learning competencies defined for the state per class and subject, NCF and ‘what is expected
of students to know and do’ across school systems
• Tests should also include benchmark items/anchor items (common questions) from other
states, national and international studies to provide clear comparative performance.
• Test papers should have questions that check for learning with understanding, text bookish
/straightforward procedures, reasoning ability, and application of concepts. Passages
developed for the papers should be ‘unseen’ passages and should include authentic material
seen in daily life.
• Tests should have multiple choice questions plus free response items.
• Class 3 tests should include two different components - Oral and Written. The ‘Written’ test
should have questions that should be read and answered by the students themselves. The
‘oral’ part of the test should have questions that should be read out orally by the evaluator
and the students should be asked to respond by writing the answer in the paper. The test
papers from class 5 onwards should include only the ‘Written’ component.
28
Association of Background Factors
• Background questionnaires for collecting information on schools, teachers and students
should be designed and the data should be analyzed for identifying discriminant factors that
are associated to student learning. From 2nd year onwards, this information can be taken
from state MIS and agency should give the list of fields required to the state for regular data
collection.
Testing procedure
Census
• While carrying out the test for the first time in the State, a census approach is to be
followed, so as to generate base line data. This test will be conducted by the agency in the
first two years while building capacity in the Department to implement from year 3 onwards.
In year one, all schools with classes 3, 5 & 8 across the state will be tested, as a baseline.
From Year 2 onwards, 50% of schools will be tested for classes 3 & 8, and the balance 50%
for classes 5. This way each of three classes will be tested once every two years, while
primary schools will be tested once every year (and all elementary schools once in two
years). .
Sampling
• In case the Govt. of Haryana prefers sampling technique, not less than 1000 students per test
form per class per district should be sampled from each of the 21 districts of Haryana. A two
stage stratified cluster sampling should be implemented to give 95% confidence level with +
3% precision. The sample selection method used for the study should be a systematic probability-
proportional-to-size (PPS) technique.
Paper Setting:-
Class 3 30 items / 60 min in each subject.
Class 5 40 items/ 60 min in each subject
Class 8 60 items / 90 min in each subject
(a) For language papers , for each class, the no of items will be less, for the same time period
(b) There will be at least 3 test forms having anchor items amongst the various forms.
(c) OMR sheets are not to be given to Class 3 &5.
Master Training Workshops
• Standardised test administration is not only important but also imperative for ethical and
technical reasons. In this context, training master trainers and evaluators assume immense
importance both for test administration and evaluation. Haryana Govt would select Master
trainers and evaluators based on criteria provided by the Agency. The Agency should carry
out master trainer workshops of 2 days. The master trainers in turn should train the
evaluators in each district. The agency will provide video recording of important training
29
instructions for surveyors covering all aspects of the assessment test, school questionnaire,
filling of OMR sheets, score card rubrics etc. Copies of this video will be handed over to
master trainers to use in trainings to surveyors.
Test Conduction
• Haryana Government will carry out the test conduction in each district. Agency should
provide the soft copies of papers, background questionnaires; testing manual and a score
card (for class 3). The state will print and dispatch these to the different districts. Agency
should provide the hard copies of the OMR answer sheets. Classes 5 and 8 students will
directly answer in the OMR sheets. For class 3, students will answer in the question paper
itself. Evaluators will convert the student responses into a set of appropriate codes as
provided in the question wise rubrics of the classes 3 score card and mark them in the OMR
sheets.
Field Visits
• During the tests, Agency’s team should carry out field audits to report on the manner in
which tests were conducted. 56 field visits covering 4 schools each in 14 districts randomly
selected should be carried out. The visit report should also provide any aberrations in
standard procedures that have to be flagged for taking cognizance during analysis. The field
visit should also provide suggestions to the State Test Conduction Team on the testing
processes.
Data Scanning and Cleaning
• On receipt of the OMR answer sheets from the state, Agency should carry out data scanning
and cleaning to create error free data in soft copy /electronic form for further analysis.
Analysis and Reports
• Different types of analyses should be carried out on the collected data to extract patterns in
performances and to understand differences in learning levels across different groups.
Advanced statistical methods should be used to check various patterns of learning. The
analysis should also highlight statistically significant deviation in districts' performance
between state led assessment & agency conducted diagnostic thus also acting as an audit on
the self assessment.
• Distracter analysis should be done to help in identification of misconceptions and common
errors. The analysis should also provide information at the state and district level for
ensuring a clear, targeted action plan in the subsequent phase. It should provide useful
comparative data between the performances of children in the different districts/regions of
the state. Comparative data with other States and National benchmarking studies should
also be provided.
30
• Analysis of achievement data of districts should provide detailed diagnostic feedback
capturing learning gaps and misconceptions. While it may or may not provide the basis to
make conclusive comments on the causes for the differences (if any) – it should likely provide
hypotheses for testing by future studies – many conclusions that can be reached on areas of
the strengths and weaknesses of children and the patterns within and across districts.
Patterns across districts should help discover areas that need reworking, and should create
cross-learning opportunities. Discriminant background factors associated with student
learning should be identified.
• Reports that are meant for the policy makers at state level, as well as reports for each
district should be provided.
Website for Access to Granular Data
• Agency should develop a website that allows the data to be accessed in the aggregated form
at the level of the state, district and schools. Diagnostic information at item and skill level
should be also provided that would be used by teachers and resource persons at curriculum
and pedagogy level.
Student Video Interviews
• While assessment results may identify the different wrong answers students provide for a
concept, it may not fully explain why students answer in a particular way. In order to find
that out, student interviews can be conducted to ask students this. These interviews should
be typically conducted in the class itself by trained interviewers. They should be video
recorded and then disseminated to schools where they can be used mainly for teacher
feedback and training. A set of 12 videos accompanied by short reports on insights gained in
particular subjects by observation of students attempting to solve the questions of the
Diagnostic tests and from similar large-scale student learning studies should be
developed/carried out by the Agency’s team.
Post Analysis Dissemination Workshops
• Ability of the teachers and educational planners to use data for decisions on curriculum,
pedagogy and training is often found to be a constraint. A series of post analysis
dissemination workshops (1 day each) should be carried out in 5 locations. These workshops
should present the data in an understandable way as well as train for the interpretation and
absorption of the key messages from the data and help create action plans for improvement.
