Abstract :
Assessment knowledge is deduced from the conventional assessment knowledge idea, which alludes to the information and chops demanded in performing assessment-related conditioning. However, there are numerous vulnerabilities concerning this idea, especially regarding the overall load of the literacy parts, which may be fundamental, insignificant, both fundamental and unimportant, or even unnecessary. Explaining assessment literacy as an idea becomes critical when focusing on substance for assessment courses or projects expected to improve the procurement of assessment literacy standards. The present study's participants were 300 male and female Iranian language assessment teachers between the ages of 23 and 50. They had at least two years of experience in teaching English to Iranian learners from private and national schools and language institutes. Two specific groups (TEFL and non-TEFL testers) were examined. All participants had the educational degrees required to take the assessment literacy questionnaire. This study was done to help TEFL and non-TEFL testers comprehend a small collection of estimation ideas and techniques, which they could then apply appropriately to make sound instructional choices and improve their students’ education.
