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.Typham this is the title: Classroom Assessment A Practical Guide for Educators 1st Edition
