What will written and performance tests measure?

Written and performance tests are designed to measure the extent to which the educational objectives have been met. These assessments provide evidence of understanding and proficiency in the material that was taught, allowing educators to determine if students have grasped the key concepts and skills necessary for fire and life safety education.

By evaluating knowledge through written tests and demonstrating skills through performance tests, instructors can identify areas where students excel or where further instruction is needed, ensuring that the education provided aligns with the established learning outcomes. This process enables a feedback loop that helps improve both the teaching methods and the educational curriculum to better serve future learners.

While attention, program length, and the effectiveness of audiovisual aids may be important factors in the overall learning experience, they do not directly measure the achievement of the specific educational objectives in the same way that tests do.
