Sinopsis: Washback effect refers to the impact of testing on curriculum design, teaching practices, and learning behaviors. Washback is a term used in education to describe the influence, whether beneficial or damaging of an assessment on the teaching and learning that precedes and prepares for that assessment. The purpose of washback is to assess and ensure that the test has a beneficial impact on teaching and learning in the lecture hall or throughout the educational system. Teachers appear to play a significant part in developing different types of washback by examining the probable positive and negative washback that tests may cause at the micro and macro levels. In other words, the teachers’ beliefs play an important role in influencing the washback effect. A test, for example, may inspire some teachers to believe that it is critical to carefully arrange their curriculum to fit the needs of the test, while other teachers may believe that exams force them to teach material that they do not believe is suitable or appropriate for their students.
