| Summary |
"In the history of tests and measurements nothing stands out as more striking or significant than the recent increase of interest in this movement among teachers in secondary schools. The treatment of the subject throughout this book is direct, intelligible, and helpful. On the one hand it avoids over-emphasis of the theoretical problems of measurement, and on the other hand it avoids too great preoccupation with the minutiae of procedure, scoring, and computations. The extensive experience of the authors (the senior author was formerly principal of the University High School at Eugene, Oregon) has enabled them to write a book ideally adapted to its purpose--one that is informative, balanced, and helpful. Both the uses and the limitations of tests are clearly and convincingly set forth. Criteria are given for the selection of tests suitable for a particular purpose. All the important intelligence and achievement tests intended for use in the high school are described and evaluated. Finally, in order that those who make use of testing methods may have more than a superficial knowledge of the instruments they employ, four chapters are added on the principles of test construction. In the opinion of the editor, no other chapters in the book are more worthy of careful study than these last four. It is safe to predict that this book will find a wide field of usefulness both as a classroom text and for reading-circle purposes. It is a book which the progressive high school teacher cannot afford to ignore"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
