The Philosophical Limitations of Educational Assessment (eBook, PDF)

Implications for Academic Selection

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

'The book presents a convincing argument that high-stakes academic testing measures the wrong attributes and, on the whole, does more harm than good, especially in the context of academic selection. It places the onus on educators and on wider society to come up with better alternatives. The book is well researched, concise, to the point and extremely relevant to educators, caregivers and school system administrators everywhere.' - Alex Lautensach, University of Northern British Columbia, Canada
