Meeting The Challenges To Measurement In An Era Of Accountability (Ncme Applications Of Educational Measurement And Assessment) - 9780415838603

Comparatively little has been written about the measurement of achievement beyond grades 1-4 and in non-major subject areas such as the physical and life sciences, the social sciences, foreign languages, and non-academic subjects that are not being addressed by PARCC 7 SBAC. The mission of this volume is to expand the use of student achievement measures to all grade levels and subject areas. It addresses traditional end-of-course tests as well as alternative measures such as portfolios, exhibitions, and student learning objectives. In each case, issues related to design and development, psychometric considerations, and validity challenges will be covered from both a generic and a content-specific perspective.
