| Publisher Description: - Provides detailed information on - the functions of assessment; - how to construct, administer, and interpret the results of teacher-developed assessment techniques; and - how to interpret the results of externally developed instruments such as standardized tests. - Both traditional and newer, alternative assessment techniques are covered. - Advantages and disadvantages of each assessment technique are discussed. - A companion website helps both instructors and students obtain additional information on topics of special interest to them. - Numerous examples of the principles and procedures make it easy for students to understand the material. - The highly practical nature of this book stems from the focus on how assessment intertwines with other everyday activities in classrooms. - Measurement theory and computational procedures that are unlikely to be used by classroom teachers are de-emphasized, producing a textbook that provides comprehensive coverage without being unnecessarily technical. |
