Explain how you might use a table of specifications to obtain a representative sample of student achievement

What will be an ideal response?


A table of specifications is a chart that depicts the instructional content of a test and the taxonomic levels at which the content was to be learned. Teachers can use this table to determine the number, type, and content of test items to use in an exam. This process helps teachers to ensure that the instructional domain is sampled representatively and that the items actually measure the appropriate criteria at the right taxonomic level.
