Abstrakt: This article discusses the trend in the measurement of educational achievement. During the past three years, there have been noticeable improvement in the design and quality of research studies pertaining to tests of educational achievement. Achievement tests was design to asses the educational goals being stressed in newer curriculum. It offers a real challenge, especially when instructional emphasis is placed on the development of concepts and understanding rather than on the acquisition of knowledge and application of facts. The attempt to describe the cognitive processes sought in test items appears to be a start in the right direction.
