Bulletin of Education and Research, v41 n2 p41-52 Aug 2019
The major aim of the study was to develop Classroom Assessment Literacy Training Program for university teachers. At first stage, the researchers investigated the classroom assessment literacy of university teachers. The data were collected from 500 public and private sector university teachers using stratified proportionate sampling technique, i.e., 40% of public and private sector universities' regular teaching faculties in Lahore, Punjab using SPSS. The data on teachers' classroom assessment literacy was collected by adapting a test developed by Mertler (2003). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that teachers have low level of classroom assessment literacy, and due to its importance there is dire need to enhance it. In the light of the results and recommendations of the researchers in previous international studies on teachers' classroom assessment literacy, the researcher addressed the issue of low classroom assessment literacy in teachers by developing a related training program.
