Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Student Achievement Data explores the multifaceted role of standardized test scores in evaluating school performance and accountability. It critically examines whether these scores accurately reflect the complex nature of education. The book argues that while standardized tests offer valuable data, relying solely on them can lead to inaccurate and potentially detrimental policy decisions. For instance, socioeconomic status significantly impacts student performance on these assessments, despite a school's actual effectiveness.
The book delves into the technical properties of standardized tests, such as test validity and test reliability, while also considering external factors influencing student achievement. It traces the historical evolution of testing in the U.S., from early aptitude tests to current high-stakes accountability systems, and introduces essential statistical concepts for interpreting test data. By dissecting national assessment frameworks like NAEP, the book provides a balanced perspective on the utility and limitations of standardized tests.
Progressing through its chapters, the book analyzes the socioeconomic impacts and policy implications of standardized testing. It advocates for a holistic evaluation approach that integrates diverse data sources, including qualitative measures and classroom observations, to provide a more accurate and equitable assessment of school performance. This comprehensive framework is particularly valuable for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to make informed decisions about educational policy and practice.
