商品簡介
Drawn from those presented at the 2005 Educational Testing Service Invitational Conference held in New York in October 2005, these papers take a collectively interdisciplinary approach to current theories and practices relating to accountability in education, in particular the effects of the No Child Left Behind act. Academics and practitioners from education, psychology, economics, statistics and public policy address the shifts in key beliefs about assessment in the past century, the realities of integrating assessment into classroom teaching and learning, technologies for diagnosis and instruction (including conversational agents, intelligent tutoring systems, tensions and trends), assessment for learning that involves teachers as well as students, locating and correcting errors in measurement that subvert learning, the connections between assessment and school reform, and values for assessment, including ensuring it fills needs rather than merely closes gaps.
