There is no doubt to that education, when imparted in the native tongue of the learners inculcates far better learning and thereby yields better results. The National Testing Service-India (NTS-India) has produced and published about fifty volumes of materials in English and various other Indian languages under different series such as Glossary of Evaluaiton Terms, Introduction to Evaluation Terminologies, Tests of Language Proficiency, Concept based Continuum of Graded Syllabi, etc. The present manuscript "Glossary of Evaluation Terms in Telugu" is an initiative to facilitate teaching-learning process in Bengali language. The 'Glossary of Evaluation Terms in Telugu' cossists of about 1000 key terms in two lists, viz., 'Telugu to English' and 'English to Telugu'. The terms are from the disciplines of education, linguistics, literature, personality, psychology, statistics, etc. that together represent the concepts used in the area of educational testing and evaluation. The present work is a milestone in the march towards achieving the goal and vision NTS-India. After translating the terms from English to Telugu, the task of finalizing Telugu parallels / equivalents has been accomplished during a series of workshops. In these workshops, renowned professors / academicians / professionals from related disciplines and backgrounds were invited to correct, modify or evaluate the manuscript and to provide their suggestions in this regard. The manuscript is published after a consensus was reached for the appropriateness and adaptability of the Telugu parallels / equivalents. v Thanks are due to all professors, academicians, professionals, etc. for their support and guidance. The overall work related to this manuscript, from beginning to the publication has been looked after by the NTS-India team presently headed by Mr. Pankaj Dwivedi, Lecturer cum Junior Research Officer. I am sure this work will prove to be an asset for the scholars who are involved in teaching-learning of Indian Language Pedagogy, especially in the Telugu language, at any of the seven levels of general education.

An Introduction to Evaluation Terminology 3rd edn. (2008) authored by Pon Subbiah and published by the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore. It consists of two sections - the first one is Telugu to English and arranged in the Telugu alphabetic order and the second one is English to Telugu and arranged in English alphabetic order. While developing the parallels, the following points have been kept in mind: (i) Telugu parallels, which are already in use and familiar to the users, have been retained, e.g. personality (murthimathyamTelugu). (ii) Though certain terms / items, terms or phrases may not accurately communicate the concepts, their inclusion has been preferred as they already are in use representing more than one synonymous concept. When new terms are proposed, the old ones in use are also retained. (iii) For some of the phrasal terms like scaled score, age score, etc., the parallels have been coined on the basis of the meaning expressed by that concept; though same term ‘score’ occur in each of the phrasal term (e.g., mapitha palithamsam, vayoganana – Telugu). (iv) Certain terms have a number of synonymous terms causing confusion in conveying the intended meaning. In such cases, a new term has been coined to avoid conceptual overlapping. Some of the concepts which are in phrasal forms are found to be tagged with proper nouns like F Max Test, Fisher's Transformation, Guttman Scaling, Kuder-Richardson Reliability, Spearman Brown Formula, etc. In such cases, the proper viii nouns are retained as they are, and the Indian language equivalents have been provided only for the adjoining forms (e.g., F max pariksha; Guttman maapakam; Kuder-Reichardson vishwasaniyatha; Spearman Brown suutram - Telugu). A similar approach was adopted for the terms like ITED Score, R-Technique, etc (e.g., ITED palithamsam, R-paddathi - Telugu). Some of the terms like Lepto-Kurtic, etc., have been adopted without any change and no parallels have been suggested. For some of the terms like Kurtosis, Platy Kurtic, etc., new Telugu parallels have been coined (e.g., kukudata, samatala kukudata – Telugu) Though all such complexities have made this task very tough, we have succeeded in giving final shape to this glossary by accommodating the suggestions of every user group to the possible extent. There is no doubt that those in the field of education, especially, the teacher-learners who are studying in the Indian language medium will derive maximum benefit of this work. It would also be useful to all those who want to undertake any study in the multidisciplinary area like Testing and Evaluation in which little amount of work is available in Indian language.
