Description

Educational Testing & Measurement

Revised and updated edition of the reader-friendly, classroom-relevant introduction to testing and assessment, designed for educators to meet today's challenges in measuring student progress

Educational Testing and Measurement, Twelfth Edition, is a revised and updated practical resource that will enhance assessment literacy to help prepare current and prospective teachers to navigate today's changing world of educational testing and assessment. It describes the classroom impact of national and key state-level policy changes that drive the ongoing changes in the usage of both teacher-made and standardized tests and assessments.

Expanding on previous editions, the book:

  • Explains test and measurement content in a nonintimidating and unique manner
  • Clarifies how formative assessment can help integrate instruction and assessment on a day-day basis in the classroom, and the roles of interim/benchmark and summative assessment
  • Describes the practical, day-to-day issues related to the development, scoring and interpretation of formative assessment results
  • Presents both sides of the various controversies around educational testing and assessment to inform readers sufficiently to form their own opinions
  • Uses a friendly, conversational style to enhance the emphasis on the application of theory
  • Provides sufficient theoretical background, without oversimplifying, for readers to understand the statistical and psychometric foundations of measurement

New content in the twelfth edition:

  • Includes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning and assessment
  • Expands coverage of formative, interim/benchmark and summative assessment
  • Introduces Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and explains how MTSS both integrates with and expands upon Response to Instruction/Intervention (RTI)
  • Describes changes to assessment practice driven by the "Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)" (replacing No Child Left Behind Act, or NCLB), and state academic standards
  • Includes examples illustrating the development, usage and interpretation of assessment results in today's classrooms
  • Includes an updated instructor's manual with an expanded item bank, and links to on-line resources to expand upon the text presentation in key areas (e.g., formative assessments standardized testing, measuring behavioral, social, and emotional development)

Educational Testing and Measurement, Twelfth Edition presents a balanced perspective of educational testing and assessment, with a unique approach to descriptive statistics and psychometrics (validity, reliability, and fairness).
