Download or read book Social Justice and Educational Measurement written by Zachary Stein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Justice and Educational Measurement addresses foundational concerns at the interface of standardized testing and social justice in American schools. Following John Rawls’s philosophical methods, Stein builds and justifies an ethical framework for guiding practices involving educational measurement. This framework demonstrates that educational measurement can both inhibit and ensure just educational arrangements. It also clarifies a principled distinction between efficiency-oriented testing and justice-oriented testing. Through analysis of several historical case studies that exemplify ethical issues related to testing, this book explores and propounds speculative design principles and arguments in favour of radically democratic school reforms, which address how the future of testing might be shaped to ensure justice for all. These case studies cover the widespread use of IQ-style testing in schools during the early decades of the 20th century; the founding of the Educational Testing Service; and the recent history of test-based accountability associated with No Child Left Behind. Social Justice and Educational Measurement will be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in education, testing and assessment, and the philosophy of education. It will also be of interest to policymakers and educational administrators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These books will serve well as texts for an introductory course for doctoral level students in Educational Measurement. Even more important, they provide for the practicing measurement professional an easy reference source of the landmark articles, papers, and chapters on which educational measurement has been built. Much of this literature is no longer easily accessible. Organized into two volumes, the first deals with basic concepts: theories of measurement and testing, validity, and reliability. The second volume covers the theory and practice of practical problems in educational measurement: test development, item evaluation, scales and norms, bias, equating, and standard setting.

Book excerpt: From the Preface. This is a book about educational measurement - but that obviously includes educational testing as well. I had some fairly specific guidelines in mind during the time of composition. See if some of these are what you have in mind when you consider the topic: Most education students learn about educational measurement not because it will be a life work, but rather, because these concepts are useful (necessary even!) in much educational decision making. Thus, the book should be directed toward this group of pre-service teachers, counselors, administrators, and not be narrowly conceived as a first course for future specialists in the field of educational measurement. A book directed at the practitioners can be used for future specialists; but a book directed toward the specialists is probably more appropriate for the generalist. A survey of the contents will show which topics have received more coverage than one usually finds in a beginning measurement text, as well as some topics which have much reduced coverage herein. Both changes in emphasis were made in light of the goal of making the book as practical and as useful as possible. The book has a heavy emphasis on setting objectives and you will find a thorough discussion of the reverse side of the objectives- setting movement. It is long on practical hints and cautionary notes to users, and short on history, theory, and difficult computations. The discussion of standardized tests focuses on uses and misuses - not on selection....
Download or read book Historical and Conceptual Foundations of Measurement in the Human Sciences written by Derek C. Briggs and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical and Conceptual Foundations of Measurement in the Human Sciences explores the assessment and measurement of nonphysical attributes that define human beings: abilities, personalities, attitudes, dispositions, and values. The proposition that human attributes are measurable remains controversial, as do the ideas and innovations of the six historical figures--Gustav Fechner, Francis Galton, Alfred Binet, Charles Spearman, Louis Thurstone, and S. S. Stevens--at the heart of this book. Across 10 rich, elaborative chapters, readers are introduced to the origins of educational and psychological scaling, mental testing, classical test theory, factor analysis, and diagnostic classification and to controversies spanning the quantity objection, the role of measurement in promoting eugenics, theories of intelligence, the measurement of attitudes, and beyond. Graduate students, researchers, and professionals in educational measurement and psychometrics will emerge with a deeper appreciation for both the challenges and the affordances of measurement in quantitative research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is a hot topic. From the stage of presidential debates to tonight's dinner table, it is an issue that most Americans are deeply concerned about. While there are many strategies for improving the educational process, we need a way to find out what works and what doesn't work as well. Educational assessment seeks to determine just how well students are learning and is an integral part of our quest for improved education. The nation is pinning greater expectations on educational assessment than ever before. We look to these assessment tools when documenting whether students and institutions are truly meeting education goals. But we must stop and ask a crucial question: What kind of assessment is most effective? At a time when traditional testing is subject to increasing criticism, research suggests that new, exciting approaches to assessment may be on the horizon. Advances in the sciences of how people learn and how to measure such learning offer the hope of developing new kinds of assessments-assessments that help students succeed in school by making as clear as possible the nature of their accomplishments and the progress of their learning. Knowing What Students Know essentially explains how expanding knowledge in the scientific fields of human learning and educational measurement can form the foundations of an improved approach to assessment. These advances suggest ways that the targets of assessment-what students know and how well they know it-as well as the methods used to make inferences about student learning can be made more valid and instructionally useful. Principles for designing and using these new kinds of assessments are presented, and examples are used to illustrate the principles. Implications for policy, practice, and research are also explored. With the promise of a productive research-based approach to assessment of student learning, Knowing What Students Know will be important to education administrators, assessment designers, teachers and teacher educators, and education advocates.
