A. Background of the Research
Evaluation is an important part of every teaching and learning experience. It gives big contribution for the teaching and it provides information about the students‟ progress which can be used by the teachers to manage the learning task and students. As stated by Dicksin et al (1992:3): “Evaluation is important for the teacher because it provides a wealth of information to use for the future direction of classroom practice, for the planning of courses and for the management of learning tasks and students”. Evaluation also can be said as the process to make desirable decision toward teaching and learning based on the information that has been collected, synthesized, and reflected on. Lyle F. Bachman (1990:22) states, “Evaluation can be defined as the systematic gathering of information for the purpose of making decision”.
Depending on the decision being made and the information a teacher needs in order to inform that decision, testing often contribute to the process as the implementation of evaluation. Surely, a test is one kind of evaluation????
