Examination - Shiken (English spelling) examination

Japanese: 試験 - しけん(英語表記)examination
Examination - Shiken (English spelling) examination
Generally speaking, it means to test the properties and performance of things, people, or organizations. In school education, it refers to examining the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of students, as well as their intellectual and physical abilities. School education is conducted in stages according to a set curriculum, and each stage of education must be given at a time when students are in an appropriate state to receive instruction, and ultimately, at the end of the curriculum, it must be examined whether they have achieved the intended goal. Thus, tests are necessary to know the status of students and to determine the appropriate content, method, and timing of education. In doing so, it is important to obtain inferential information with as few errors as possible, and reliability and validity are required. There are several aspects to validity, but educational validity, social validity, measurement validity, and inferential validity must be considered.
