Measurement and Teaching

Measurement and Teaching provides up-to-date guidelines, procedures, techniques, and practical examples that are used by teachers to construct quality classroom tests that correspond to specific student learning outcomes. Furthermore, the book provides strategies that teachers use to evaluate published tests and interpret test results. Measurement and Teaching includes checklists for writing objectives, planning tests, developing test items, preparing test directions, and assembling and administering tests. Each chapter concludes with comprehensive review questions and exercises. The book also includes two inclusive exercises, a glossary, a bibliography, and four appendices: (A) sample verbs for writing instructional objectives; (B) sample test items; (C) answers to review questions; and (D) answers to exercises. Measurement and Teaching is designed for undergraduate or graduate students completing an introductory course in educational tests and measurement. The author assumes no previous knowledge of data analysis or statistics on the part of the reader.
