Educational assessment, at one time a relatively uncontroversial subject, is now riven by a diversity of views. The most crucial division is between those who continue to believe in the effectiveness of objective assessment techniques and those who favour alternative methods. This book presents an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses and rationales for both.
Assumptions and philosophies; technical basics of assessment; test construction methodologies; how to construct objective tests; how to construct short answer and essay tests; how to construct alternative assessments; how to assign grades; the use of standardised achievement tests; the ethics of educational assessment.
