Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in Elementary Schools: Second Revision The actual administration of standardized tests. To carry out a successful and profitable testing program it is not only necessary that the tests employed be selected in view of the desired results, and of the criteria named above, but also that they be properly given, Scored, and the results correctly interpreted. In connection with the giving and scoring of tests the one point which needs emphasis above all others is that those giving them should follow in all points the directions accom panying the tests. Such directions can frequently be improved upon, but it is not the place of the teacher to do so since this will prevent the results obtained from being strictly comparable with those secured by others who have employed the same test. The directions accompanying some tests are not complete. If these are to be used, those who are to give and score them should examine enough other similar tests or treatises on tests to find what is the accepted procedure in each of the points in question and then follow this procedure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in Elementary Schools An intelligent attitude toward educational tests. For several years the use of educational tests has been urged with much enthusiasm and eloquence by a very large number of those who have contributed to our educational periodicals, as well as by many of those who have addressed educational gatherings. Recently a more critical attitude has developed toward these measuring instruments. Attention is being called to their defects and limitations. As a result some people may be in doubt concerning the attitude which they should maintain. There is no question that when properly used educational tests become valuable instruments in the hands of teachers and supervisors but it should always be remembered that they are imperfect instruments. The measures of ability which they yield involve errors which in some cases arc sufficiently large to lead to erroneous conclusions. In order that the greatest good may result from the use of educational tests one should avoid the uncritical belief that the measures which they yield arc highly accurate and reliable. On the other hand one should bear in mind that in general they yield more accurate information than can be secured through other sources. A prerequisite for intelligent selection of a test for school use. A prerequisite for an intelligent selection of an educational test for use in a school is a definite plan for using the information which it yields. One reason for this is that tests differ in function. Some of the tests enumerated in the following list have a general survey function; others arc diagnostic; some are power tests; but others arc rate tests. Unless a test is selected whose function is in agreement with one's' purpose, it is likely that the time and money invested in the testing will fail to yield adequate returns. Another reason is that the absence of a well defined plan frequently results in no use being made of the scores obtained on the test. The number of cases in which a test has been given and the results filed away without having been used is surprisingly large. One should not undertake the giving of any educational test merely because other people arc doing it. Unless it appears likely that the test will function as an instrument to increase the effectiveness of instruction or the organization of the school, its administration should not be undertaken.
