CPEATM Handbook for Administrators

You are required to construct a number of tests that will be administered formatively to
pupils. At the end of each test, which pupils are required to complete individually, you are
required to immediately provide feedback to the pupils.

4. Self-Assessment /Pupil Tests
An important component of the internal assessment of the CPEA™ is pupils’ participation in
their own assessment. The self-assessment component of the CPEA™ engages pupils in the
writing of tests for Mathematics, English and Science. These tests will be constructed by
groups of pupils in a class and done by their peers individually and independently. Pupils
must be given guidelines on the:
? types of test items that are acceptable (for example, multiple choice, short answer.)
? content to be covered

Pupil tests are to be:
? discussed with students
? collated by the teacher
Pupils are to be told how the pupil test will be used by you.

5. Teacher-Prepared Tests
Teacher-prepared tests are another component of the internal assessment of the CPEA™.
They provide data that can be used by you to adjust and enhance your teaching.
You should develop a wide range of tests to include selected and constructed response type
items.
(a) Selected response

Pupils select their answers from options provided. These include:
? Multiple choice
? True-false
? Matching items
