Abstract

The study focused on development and validation of evidenced-based test items as a means of improving the skill assessment of student in learning Service Station Mechanic work and Petrol Engine Maintenance work at the technical college. The study adopted instrumentation design and was carried out in Ekiti and Ondo states. The population of the is 125 technical three student (final year student) in the study area. A101 evidenced-based test items was developed and utilized by the study. The instrument was subjected to face and content validation by experts from Measurement and Evaluation and subject matter experts respectively from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Federal University of Technology, Minna. The psychometrics properties of the items were first determined by administering the instrument on a pilot sample drawn outside the study area. The reliability of the instrument was determined by using split-half technique and Kudder-Richardson KR-20, and it yielded a coefficient of 0.87 for service station mechanic work and 0.86 for petrol engine maintenance work. Percentages, indices of difficulty, discrimination, distractors and KR-20 were utilized in answering the research questions. It was revealed by the study that the items of the evidenced-based test had a difficulty indices between 0.30 and 0.70, discrimination of not less than 0.20, positive distraction. It was therefore recommended by the study that the examination bodies and classroom teachers should adopt the evidenced-based test in the certification of their student and also in assessing the level of the skill possessed by the student during classroom instruction.
