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.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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 Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in High Schools Limitations Of achievement tests for use in the high school. In addition to the general limitations of educational tests, certain ones are introduced by the nature of the educational objectives of the high school. The function of an achievement test is to yield measures of the extent to which pupils have attained certain objectives which have been set for them. For example, if we accept as an objective in the field of spelling the ability to spell correctly a certain list of 1000 words, a test for this field should yield a measure of the ability of pupils to spell these 1000 words correctly. Similarly in the field of arithmetic an achievement test implies certain objectives and its function is to measure the degree to which pupils have achieved these objectives.

It recounts the shocking history and tempestuous politics of testing and borrows strategies from fields as diverse as games, neuroscience, and ancient philosophy to help children cope.

And it points the way toward a hopeful future of better tests and happier kids.
