The market-leader! This popular text introduces future classroom teachers to those elements of measurement and assessment that are essential to good teaching. Its straightforward treatment is predicated on the authors' belief that evaluation of learning plays a pivotal role in the instructional process...and that its effectiveness depends on a teacher's ability to construct and select evaluation instruments that provide a valid measure of intended learning outcomes. Written with the introductory student in mind, it assumes no prior knowledge of statistics, and uses illustrative examples generously to explain and expand upon topics. Statistical concepts are introduced only as necessary for understanding, with the authors consistently emphasizing interpretation over computation.
This popular, comprehensive book emphasizes the construction and use of classroom tests and assessments that are technically sound (valid and reliable). Key benefits include: extensive examples illustrating sound assessment construction principles; comprehensive coverage of approaches to testing and assessment; and up-to-date concepts of validity in context of standards-based education. Emphasizes the growing trend of authentic assessment and current practice. Provides insight on both restricted-response and extended performance tests. Explains how to construct performance tasks. Discusses rating scales. Provides updated information on observational techniques, peer appraisal, self-report, attitude measurement, interest inventories, and personality measures. A basic book in tests and measurement.
