Educational Assessment in a Time of Reform : Standards and Standard Setting for Excellence in Education PDF
by Coert Loock, Vanessa Scherman
Part of the ISSN series
Description
Educational Assessment in a Time of Reform provides background information on large-scale examination systems more generally and the South African examination specifically. It traces the reforms in the education system of South Africa since 1994 and provides a description of the advances in modern test theory that could be considered for future standard setting endeavours.
At theheart of the book is the debate on whether the current standard of education in Africa is good enough . If not, then how can it be improved? The aim of this book is to provide a point of departure for discussions on standard-setting, quality assurance, equating of examinations and assessment approaches. From this point of departure recommendations for practices in general and the exit-level (Grade 12) examination results in particular can be made.
This book is ideal reading for principals, teachers, academics and researchers in the fields of educational assessment, measurement, and evaluation.
