A lot of instructional designers do not fully understand assessment development. Valid assessments should be designed to tie test questions to the learning objective, which is composed of three parts:
1. The Condition - the way the learner is learning (ex: books, classroom)
2. Performance - what the learning is asked to do (ex: list, describe)
3. Criteria - how the learning is being measured (ex: diagram, checklist)
Having a balance of knowledge, comprehension, and application questions is also important when developing quality assessments. This allows a company to better determine both the effectiveness of their companies training methods and the skills of their employees.
