Abstract: Practical strategies for measuring achievement, as well as the theory underlying these procedures, are presented. Evaluators decide how well programs have met achievement objectives and describe those achievements by means of sensitive and accurate measures. Both the evaluator's role and the types of achievement tests available must be considered in measuring achievement for program evaluation. Suggestions on how to locate existing achievement measures and tips for constructing one's own tests to assess achievement are given. Evaluators should determine how well measurement instruments fit the program by classifying objectives, screening tests and matching test items. The reliability and validity of achievement measures is also discussed. A final chapter describes how achievement test data may be recorded, scored, reported and interpreted to provide answers to evaluation questions Lynn Lyons Morris, Carol Taylor Fitz-gibbon.
