Download or read book Improving Schools by Standardized Tests Classic Reprint written by Samuel S. Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improving Schools by Standardized Tests Among the more recent ideas there are some that seem pregnant with tremendous possibilities for the improve ment of educational procedure. The most far-reaching in its beneficial possibilities seems to me to be the idea Of measuring the results of teaching and the intelligence of school children by means Of standardized tests. Of large importance also are: The Socialized Recitation, Supervised Study, Teaching Children how to Study, The project-problem Method in Teaching, and the change Of emphasis from oral to silent reading. All these things are rich with promise of greater efficiency in education. But although all the above-mentioned ideas have proved successful, when carried out by trained men and women full Of enthusiasm and thoroughly under standing the psychological principles upon which the ideas were based, nevertheless, when the carrying-out of these same ideas has been attempted by persons lacking in sympathy and full understanding of the principles, aims, and methods involved, they have Often been far from successful. Superintendents and teachers who condemn these ideas, after proving to their own satisfaction that they are worth less, remind me Of the first farmer in the town Of my boy hood to purchase a mowing machine. For a great many years this man had mowed his many rough and rather rocky acres by hand with the help Of a large crew Of hired men. But one spring the mowing-machine agent appeared in our town and as a result, by the time hay was ready to be cut, the farmer found himself possessed Of a brand-new mowing machine, resplendent in green, yellow, and red. The next morning he started out to mow the back field. Truly his trials that day were many. And when the machine, unable to stand any more Of his inexpert han dling, broke down late in the afternoon, he had succeeded in getting over only about as much ground as one good man with scythe and snath could have mowed in the same length of time. And what an untidy-looking job it was! The next day the farmer started his Old crew to mowing by hand. N 0 more Of that mowing machine for him. He could do more and better work in a day alone than could a man with a pair Of horses and a mowing machine. The mowing machine was a failure. He knew because he had tried it. But did this farmer's experience with his new mowing machine prove the failure Of the machine or the failure Of the man? The mowing machine, we know, will do good and rapid work in astonishingly rough and rocky ground when guided by a practiced hand.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in High Schools, Third Revision The actual, administration of standardized tests. T o 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 and scored, and the results correctly interpreted. In connection with the giving and scoring Of tests, the one point needing emphasis above all others is that those giving them should follow, without variation, the directions accompanying the tests. Such directions can often be improved upon, but it is not the place of the tester to make changes, since this will pre vent 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 for each Of the points in question and then follow this procedure.

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 The Myths of Standardized Tests written by Phillip Harris and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pundits, politicians, and business leaders continually make claims for what standardized tests can do, and those claims go largely unchallenged because they are in line with popular assumptions about what these tests can do, what the scores mean, and the psychology of human motivation. But what most of what these opinion leaders say-and the public believes-about standardized testing just isn't so. However, few members of the general public, not even concerned parents, have the time or the background to keep up with the latest findings of testing experts, psychometricians, and researchers. That's where The Myths of Standardized Tests comes in. In simple, accessible language, Harris, Smith, and Harris spell out the assumptions underlying standardized tests and point out what's true about them and what's just plain mythical. But they not only debunk common assumptions; they propose better ways to judge the success of our schools. They also offer readers suggestions for ways they can help reduce the burden of tests on their children. Appendixes offer readers contact information and suggestions for actions they can take to become part of the solution to the problem of overusing and misusing standardized tests.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in Elementary Schools, Revised Scope of the following list. It has been the intention of the writer to include only those tests in the following list which are now available for general school use. Tests which are known to be distinctly unsatisfactory are omitted even though they can be pur chased in quantity. In some cases tests whose value remains to be demonstrated have been included because it was thought worth while to make announcement of promising tests in process of con struction. Norms are available for all except a few of the tests listed and for these norms will doubtless be announced soon. No complete description or criticism of the tests has been attempted. Certain comments have been inserted which may be helpful in making intelligent judgments in regard to the value of different tests.

Download or read book Provisions for the Individual Differences of High School Pupils Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Odell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Provisions for the Individual Differences of High School Pupils Provisions for individual differences do not necessarily involve the use of standardized tests. A great deal has been written and said Within the last few years concerning the matter of providing for the individual differences of pupils. This has been especially true since the introduction of standardized tests of general intelligence and achievement, altho their use is not necessarily involved. Many per sons have, however, assumed that the one involves the other and as a result there has arisen a considerable amount of confusion in the discussion of both provisions for individual differences and the use of standardized tests. Persons who have been strong advocates of the former have taken for granted that the results of tests should be the basis of classifying pupils, while others who are opposed to segre gating pupils on the basis of ability have denounced the use of stand ardized tests, apparently not realizing that they can be used for other purposes. The same thing has been true from the other side, that is, persons who believed or disbelieved 1n the use of tests have allowed their attitude on that subject to influence their belief about providing for individual differences. Therefore the writer is anxious to empha size the fact that neither one has any necessary dependence upon or connection with the other. Provisions were being made for individual differences long before standardized tests were introduced. Likewise standardized tests are used for many purposes that have no connec tion with providing for individual differences. Plans vs. Their execution. It should also be remembered that plans for taking care of individual differences may be good but that their execution may be faulty. For example, the plan of arranging homo geneous groups of pupils according to their ability may be a desira ble one but impossible to carry out because we are not'yet able to ascertain the true ability of pupils. Likewise, it may be desirable to provide for individual differences by maximum and minimum courses but we may not be able to determine what the content of these courses should be. A confusion of these two factors similar to that regarding provisions for individual differences and standardized tests has arisen. Plans that are probably very good are condemned merely because the schools using them have not been able to carry them out cfh ciently.' In considering the plans described in this circular it shouldbe remembered that practically none of them have been tried out under ideal conditions and probably most of them can not be for a considerable time to come, if ever. If favorable results are obtained from their use at present it is possible that still more favorable results can be obtained in the future, while if neutral or positively unfavor able results are obtained it is possible that these are due to weak nesses in execution and not in the plan itself.
