Table of Specification

Learning Objective: 

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

1     define table of specification;

2.      discuss the importance of preparing a table of specifications;

3.     determine the parts of the table of specification; and

4.      explain how the table specification is prepared.

Table of Specifications

A table that shows what will be tested (taught) is the table of specifications. 

Parts of the Table of Specification

1.      Objectives/Content/Topic – these are the content

2.     Levels of learning – your questions shall be  divided  into the  levels  of learning: knowledge, comprehension and application.

o  Factual/Knowledge – recognition and recall of facts Example:

The figure 1 in the symbol E6013 signifies

A.     Tensile strength

B.     Welding position

C.     Material thickness

D.    Maximum weld length

Example:

The megger is used to

A.     Measure the amount of illumination

B.     Determine the speed of electric motor

C.     Measure the resistance of a lightning cable
