Excerpt from Educational Tests for Use in High Schools, Third Revision
The actual, administration of standardized tests. T o carry out a successful and profitable testing program it is not only necessary that the tests employed be selected in View of the desired results and Of the criteria named above, but also that they be properly given and scored, and the results correctly interpreted. In connection with the giving and scoring Of tests, the one point needing emphasis above all others is that those giving them should follow, without variation, the directions accompanying the tests. Such directions can often be improved upon, but it is not the place of the tester to make changes, since this will pre vent the results Obtained from being strictly comparable with those secured by others who have employed the same test. The directions accompanying some tests are not complete. If these are to be used, those who are to give and score them should examine enough other similar tests or treatises on tests to find what is the accepted procedure for each Of the points in question and then follow this procedure.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive and critical analysis of standardized educational tests, offering both an overview of their current status and a detailed examination of their uses, limitations, and evaluation. The author, an expert in the field of educational research, draws on a wealth of data and research to provide a balanced perspective on the role of standardized tests in contemporary education. The book begins by exploring the historical development and theoretical foundations of standardized testing, situating it within the broader context of educational measurement and evaluation. It then examines the various types of standardized tests, their strengths and weaknesses, and their appropriate applications. The author also discusses the ethical and social implications of standardized testing, including issues of bias, fairness, and the potential for misuse. In addition to providing a thorough grounding in the technical aspects of standardized testing, the book also delves into the deeper philosophical and pedagogical questions that arise from their use. The author argues that standardized tests can be a valuable tool for assessing student learning and informing educational decisions, but only if they are used in conjunction with other forms of assessment and with a critical understanding of their limitations. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of standardized educational tests, challenging readers to critically evaluate their role in education and to use them wisely and effectively in the pursuit of educational excellence.
