Table of Specification
Table of specifications is a two-way chart which describes the
topics to be covered in a test and the number of items or
points which will be associated with each topic.
It is prepared to ensure that there is a similarity between
classroom instructions and test content. This is one of the
most popular procedures used by test developers for defining
the content -domain.
One dimension of the test reflects the content to be covered
and other dimension describes the kinds of student cognitive
behaviour to be assessed.
A well constructed TOS helps teachers align Objectives,
Instruction, and Assessment (mostly Summative)to help
improve all aspects of course design and evaluationbenefiting both teacher and learner.
