Abstract
This study attempts to examine the gap between teachers' assessment literacy and assessment practices
through the development of the teacher assessment literacy model (LPG Model) and teacher assessment
practices model (APG Model). The equivalence of the model was also examined for teachers with different
years of teaching experience, subject area and school level. The sample consisted of 3,866 teachers from
the three northern Malaysia states (Penang, Kedah and Perak). Two instruments developed to collect data
from the teacher were ILPG and IAPG. Both the models were tested separately using CFA. The results
showed that both LPG and APG models consist of five main constructs. They were also found to be
invariance across years of teaching experience, subject area and school level. This study also found gap
exists between teachers' assessment literacy and assessment practices. The results will be useful in
planning appropriate teacher training program in general and assessment professional development
program in particular.
