Measurement and Assessment in Teaching

The market-leader, this outstanding volume introduces prospective teachers to all of the elements of measurement and assessment that are essential to good teaching. Through direct, clear writing and a presentation that assumes no previous knowledge of measurement or statistics, it provides students with an understanding of the role of measurement and assessment in the instructional process, of the trends and issues involved in the use of mandated tests and assessments, and of the techniques needed to create, use, evaluate, and interpret the full spectrum of both published and self-created assessment vehicles. Statistical concepts are introduced only where necessary for understanding and discussion, and always with an emphasis on interpretation not computation.Linn, Robert L. is the author of 'Measurement and Assessment in Teaching', published 2004 under ISBN 9780131137721 and ISBN 0131137727.
