tests. Reston, Va.: Applied Science Associates, 1974.
The development of pretests, posttests and the testing plan is
a requisite component in the data collection stage of process
evaluation. To be effective indicators of the outcomes of instruction
it is necessary to construct criterion-referred tests which measure

study are reviewed in regard to their relative importance to the
decision making process.
