Subject: Selection of Item Developers from all over Punjab
Respected Sir / Madam
The participation of practicing teachers in developing items is a major requirement for the standardization of assessment. Punjab Examination Commission (PEC) has always been involving practicing teachers at each step of the development of standardized assessment i.e. framework development/review, item writing/review, and spot testing of items. Since the implementation of the Assessment Policy Framework (APF), the scope of work for PEC has been increased many times i.e. from Grades V and VIII to Grades 1-VIII. Furthermore, during the phase-wise implementation of APF, practicing teachers need to be involved in item development after training. Without specific training, most novice item writers tend to create poor-quality, flawed, low-cognitive-level test questions that test unimportant or trivial content
2. Keeping in view the above-said need of APF, PEC has planned to develop a pool of item developers (writers/reviewers) through screening tests and interviews and subsequent training of selected teachers from all districts and other schools running organizations, in all the core subjects, during July, 2022.
