| description | Frustrations with traditional testing led a group of teachers at the English for adults program at Universidad EAFIT (Colombia) to design tests aligned with the institutional teaching philosophy and classroom practices. This article reports on a study of an item-by-item evaluation of a series of English exams for validity and reliability in an effort to guarantee the quality of the process of test design. The study included descriptive statistics, item analysis, correlational analyses, reliability estimates, and validity analyses. The results show that the new tests are an excellent addition to the program and an improvement over traditional tests. Implications are discussed and recommendations given for the development of any institutional testing program. Key words: Classroom tests, integrated language skills, reliability, validity. Las frustraciones con la evaluacion tradicional llevaron a un grupo de profesores del programa de ingles para adultos de la Universidad EAFIT (Colombia) a disenar pruebas alineadas con la filosofia de ensenanza institucional y las practicas de clase. Este articulo describe un estudio de validez y confiabilidad de examenes de ingles, item por item, para garantizar la calidad del diseno de pruebas. El estudio incluyo estadistica descriptiva, analisis de items, analisis de correlacion, confiabilidad de las estimaciones y analisis de validez. Los resultados muestran que las pruebas son una excelente adicion al programa con respecto a examenes tradicionales. Igualmente se discuten las implicaciones y se hacen recomendaciones para el desarrollo de cualquier programa institucional de pruebas. Palabras clave: confiabilidad, habilidades linguisticas integradas, pruebas, validez. |
