Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests and Measurements Still more recently, and wholly within the past decade, a still better method for the evaluation of the work which teachers and schools are doing has been evolved. This new method consists in the setting up, through the medium of a series of carefully devised Standardized Tests, of standard measurements and units of accomplishments for the deter mination of the kind and the amount Of work which a school or a school system is doing. This new movement is as yet almost in its infancy, but so important is it in terms of the future Of school administration that it already bids fair to change, in the course of time, the whole character of this professional service. The significance of these new standards of measurement for our educational service is indeed large. Their use means nothing less than the ultimate transformation Of school work from guesswork to scientific accuracy; the elimination of favoritism and politics from the work; the ending for ever of the day when a personal or a political enemy of a superintendent can secure his removal, without regard to the efficiency of the school system he has built up; the substitution of well-trained experts as superintendents of schools for the Old successful practitioners; and the chang ing of school supervision from a temporary or a political job, for which little or no preparation need be made, to that of a highly skilled piece of social engineering.

Download or read book Educational Measurement for Applied Researchers written by Margaret Wu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a valuable read for a diverse group of researchers and practitioners who analyze assessment data and construct test instruments. It focuses on the use of classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT), which are often required in the fields of psychology (e.g. for measuring psychological traits), health (e.g. for measuring the severity of disorders), and education (e.g. for measuring student performance), and makes these analytical tools accessible to a broader audience. Having taught assessment subjects to students from diverse backgrounds for a number of years, the three authors have a wealth of experience in presenting educational measurement topics, in-depth concepts and applications in an accessible format. As such, the book addresses the needs of readers who use CTT and IRT in their work but do not necessarily have an extensive mathematical background. The book also sheds light on common misconceptions in applying measurement models, and presents an integrated approach to different measurement methods, such as contrasting CTT with IRT and multidimensional IRT models with unidimensional IRT models. Wherever possible, comparisons between models are explicitly made. In addition, the book discusses concepts for test equating and differential item functioning, as well as Bayesian IRT models and plausible values using simple examples. This book can serve as a textbook for introductory courses on educational measurement, as supplementary reading for advanced courses, or as a valuable reference guide for researchers interested in analyzing student assessment data.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fifteenth Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, Vol. 1: Standards and Tests for the Measurement of the Efficiency of Schools and School Systems In the pages which follow, the Committee on Standards and Tests Of the National Council of Education presents a series of reports pre pared by its own members and by others who have, upon invitation of the committee, been willing to contribute results Of their study or investigation. The committee feels that these reports furnish most satisfactory evidence Of the progress which has been made in the field of educational measurement during the past few years. The papers of the several contributors may, in general, be classified as contributing (i) to the derivation of scales or units of measurement, and (2) to the application of such units or scales of measurement as have been derived in the field Of educational administration or supervision. In printing, the papers have been grouped as indicated above. It seems unnecessary with this report in hand to argue in favor of the use of the more precise methods of measurement which have recently been developed. Those interested in the improvement of our schools have always attempted by some method or other to estimate the effi ciency of individual schools or school systems. Often this measurement has been based upon an Opinion not acceptable to another student or investigator, and not frequently upon attempts to measure which have been extremely crude. The examination system as we have commonly had it, not only has been responsible for judgments with respect to the efficiency of schools, or Of school systems, but has also determined in very considerable measure in most school systems the progress of children. In the studies which are reported here, more precise measures give to the student of education a better basis in knowledge of conditions upon which to base his criticism or to develop his improved method Of instruction or administration. The measurement Of results of any sort, whether of the achievements in School subjects, of the cost of any unit or function, or of the rate of progress, and the like, furnishes primarily a knowledge of the situation which makes clear the problems involved, and which may suggest a method of experiment that looks toward the improvement desired.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in Institutions of Higher Learning A second important limitation upon the use of standardized tests in institutions of higher learning is that many of the desired outcomes of instruction therein cannot be satisfactorily measured by such tests. In order to insure objectivity4 and ease of scoring, standardized tests are, almost without exception, composed of new - type exercises - that is, of exercises calling for very short responses, such as check marks, underlinings, single words, and so forth, on the part of students. Tests of this type lend themselves readily to the measurement of detailed facts, such as knowledge of the arithmetic combinations, the use of particular grammatical forms, historical dates, geographical facts, and so forth. They are, however, not well adapted to the measurement of ideals, attitudes, and perspectives, of power of analysis and synthesis, of organization and rearrangement, and Of other more or less similar outcomes that are supposed to be emphasized on the higher educational levels. It has been found very difficult to construct standardized tests to measure outcomes Of the sort just referred to. Moreover many per sons Object to employing them for the measurement Of such factual and other material as is adapted to their use for fear that so doing will overemphasize this outcome and minimize more desirable Ones.

Download or read book How to Measure in Education Classic Reprint written by William Anderson McCall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Measure in Education The science of measurement is in its infancy and the art of measurement is younger still. Yet both have developed at such a phenomenal rate in the last few years as to make this movement for the mental measurement of children the most dramatic tendency in modern education. Educators returning from a few years' sojourn in foreign missionary fields testify that no recent change in educational practices compares with that effected by the growth of scientific edu cational and intelligence testing. During the war, and since, it was my privilege to confer with educational or military commissions sent here by several foreign governments to study our schools. These representatives testified that the extensive use of scientific mental measurement was one of the most distinctive features of American education. This book describes rather fully the meaning and methods of this movement. The art of measurement is younger than the science of measurement because the abler workers have, of necessity, devoted their energies almost exclusively to the origination of foundational techniques. But the whole movement was so promising in the way of concrete assistance in meeting educational problems that practical educators have irre sistibly demanded that the science of measurement be turned into the art of measurement almost overnight. Hence the last two or three years has witnessed a feverish effort to meet these demands. The result has been numerous mis takes and remarkable successes. This book has a fourfold aim. First, it aims to present these successes and warn against a repetition of the mis takes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Educational Measurement With the Elements of Statistical Method Classic Reprint written by Chester Arthur Gregory and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals of Educational Measurement With the Elements of Statistical Method This book is an attempt to bridge, in part, a gap between theory and practice in educational tests and measurements. The leaders in the movement for a quantitative study of educational problems have advanced so far into the theory and more complex practical phases of the work that a very large percentage of the teachers and students have considerable difficulty in following them. Most of the books on the subject have either been more or less technical, pre-supposing considerable training on the part of the readers in the field, or they have been largely manuals of directions for giving the tests and scoring the papers, with little reference to the theory and to the problems which have confronted those attempting to measure educational processes and products. This book deals with the processes and problems in a somewhat evolutionary way so that the teachers and students may see the order in which the problems have arisen and the attempted solutions of them. A mere manual of directions for giving tests and scoring the papers will not develop a professional spirit among teachers in this field. They must understand the fundamental principles, or the work becomes purely mechanical and non-professional. It has been the aim of the author to present the fundamental principles in non-technical language, as far as it is possible to do so, and to confine the statistical treatment of the data almost entirely to simple operations in arithmetic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going into its eighth edition, this book is a classic in the field of educational measurement. It was written from the point of view of the classroom teacher to answer the question, "What does a teacher need to know about the development and evaluation of educational measures and assessments?" This book fosters an understanding of how assessment and instruction are interrelated. It also cultivates learning the techniques and skills needed to develop tests and other evaluation procedures (e.g. portfolios), as well as teaches students to understand how to evaluate the validity and reliability of tests. Unlike many books in educational measurement, this book also gives readers what they need to know to properly interpret the results from standardized achievement and scholastic aptitude tests. Topics include: test reliability and validity; meaning and application of the norms; extraneous factors that influence performance of cognitive tests; the development of educational measures; and more. Teachers, principals, and counselors.
