Alignment between standards and assessments is acknowledged to be the key factor in a standard
based education system. In Pakistan, standard based curriculum was adopted for secondary classes
for the session 2012-13 onward and this study was conducted to explore the alignment between the
secondary school mathematics curriculum and the assessments made by the Boards of Intermediate
and Secondary Education (BISE), Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, a web based application
called Webb Alignment Tool (WAT) was used to assess the alignment between the secondary
school curriculum for mathematics with Assessment tools 2013 and 2014 on four criteria:
categorical concurrence, DOK consistency, range of knowledge correspondence and balance of
representation. Both the Assessment tools met the criterion of categorical concurrence. However,
they could not meet the minimum acceptable level for range of knowledge correspondence. DOK
consistency was found acceptable but instead of quality of assessment items it was because 73% of
mathematics curriculum was found at DOK level 1, the lowest level.
