Assessment Of Grade Xii In English Tests With Evaluation Of Teacher’s Instructional Methods In The Public Sector 2019-2021

Abstract

This research study is an objective assessment of public sector Grade XII female learners in compulsory subject, English and their evaluation of teachers’ methodology of instruction following pandemic – related closures in educational institutions and the shift to blended learning. The researcher selected public university Semester 1 students in Lahore. The researcher correlated their performance in conventional learning to the current scenario. Objective tests were administered to students (n=85, n=87, n=88, n=91). National test (alpha 0.547 SEM 0.329) and international test (alpha 0.804 SEM 0.272) are coefficients of equivalence measures. The reliability of the test instrument indicates that it is a good instrument for classroom testing with some difficult items which can be revised. Feedback on Likert scale questionnaires from students indicated the teachers’ way of instruction in blended learning is communicative. Questionnaire reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.865 valid response 60.9%) indicates the Directive teacher spearman’s rho correlation is 1.000 while the Communicative teacher correlation is 0.586 (sig.2-tailed .000 n=100). This research recommends regular revision and objective testing in the compulsory subject, English.
