| Abstract | Classroom assessment, particularly the practice of testing, still exists and continues to be utilized in almost all schools despite the recent advances of alternative assessment schemes. This paper explores the practice of personal test-item banking (PTIB) and the development and utilization of the table of specifications (TOS) by practicing secondary science teachers vis-a-vis the construction of classroom tests. Results indicate that PTIB largely dictates the construction of classroom tests in actual practice without regard to existing principles of classroom test development. As regards to the construction and utilization of TOS, the process is done by working backward contrary to what relevant literatures suggest. The implications on the validity of the developed test items and the accountability of the test results are discussed. |
