CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Standardization refers to the process of: defining meaningful scores relative to a representative pretested group. When a person’s test performance can be compared with that of a representative and pretested sample of people, the test is said to be: standardized.

Detailed explanation-2: -Standardization refers to the procedure through which an individual’s score is compared to the scores from people who have previously taken the test.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standardization is defining uniform testing procedures and meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group. Reliability is the extent to which a test yields consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternate forms of the test, or on retesting.

Detailed explanation-4: -Test norms represent the typical or “normal” scores of students at different grades or learning levels. In addition to scores being different for younger and older students, they can also vary among students in the same grade because of differences in prior learning and general ability.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is important that intelligence tests be standardized on a regular basis, because the overall level of intelligence in a population may change over time. The Flynn effect refers to the observation that scores on intelligence tests worldwide have increased substantially over the past decades (Flynn, 1999).
