A Table of Specifications is a two-
way chart which describes the topics
to be covered by a test and the
number of items or points which will
be associated with each topic.
Kubiszyn & Borich, (2003)
emphasized the following
significance and components of TOS:
1. A Table of Specifications consists of a two-
way chart or grid relating instructional
objectives to the instructional content.
The column of the chart lists the
objectives or "levels of skills" (Gredlcr,
1999) to be addressed;
The rows list the key concepts or content
the test is to measure.
According to Bloom, et al. (1971),
"We have found it useful to
represent the relation of content and
behaviors in the form of a two
dimensional table with the objectives
on one axis, the content on the
other”.
2. A Table of Specifications identifies not only
the content areas covered in class, it
identifies the performance objectives at each
level of the cognitive domain of Bloom's
Taxonomy.
