The book opens with an introduction that reviews many key assessment terms and concepts.
The myths examined in this book are:
- Assessment is just writing tests and using statistics.
- A comprehensive final exam is the best way to evaluate students.
- Scores on performance assessments are preferable because of their accuracy and authenticity.
- Multiple choice tests are inaccurate measures of language but are easy to write.
- We should test only one skill at a time.
- A test’s validity can be determined by looking at it.
- Issues of fairness are not a concern with standardized testing.
- Teachers should never be involved in preparing students for tests.
Implications for teaching and an agenda for research are discussed in a conclusion.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
