Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Standardized Testing Effects explores the pervasive influence of standardized testing on education, questioning its accuracy as a measure of student learning. The book investigates whether these tests truly reflect academic achievement or incentivize ""teaching to the test,"" potentially narrowing the curriculum. It also emphasizes the implications for educational equity, particularly concerning access to resources for marginalized students. One intriguing fact revealed is the historical evolution of these tests, tracing their origins to early 20th-century roots and their increasing prominence in accountability systems. The book argues that while standardized tests provide some data, their overuse can detrimentally impact educational quality. It challenges the notion that these tests are unbiased measures, advocating for a more holistic assessment approach. The analysis progresses systematically, beginning with key concepts like test validity and fairness. Subsequent sections delve into impacts on curriculum, student motivation, and accountability systems, culminating in alternative assessment approaches and policy recommendations, providing a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of standardized testing effects.
