How Testing Came to Dominate American Schools
The History of Educational Assessment
AvGerard Giordano
Häftad, Engelska, 2005
326 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Although originally designed as instruments to gauge students’ progress, tests eventually were used to modify curricula, learning materials, pedagogy, and many practical features of schooling. Tests were employed to shape attitudes toward national issues such as employment, immigration, and defense. Worried about the enormous consequences that were at stake, advocates and opponents pitched their cases to educators, parents, journalists, and policymakers and also targeted special audiences. Testing proponents pleaded with military leaders, businesspeople, and scholastic publishers while their adversaries appealed to job seekers, college applicants, racial minorities, and anti-establishmentarians. This book illustrates how all of these parties showed interest; many became passionate; and some decisively influenced the course of American educational testing.

Parents asked educators about their children’s learning. Frustrated when they were ignored, they asked politicians to put pressure on the educators. They were then surprised when the politicians provided personal advice about the optimal way to nurture learning. They were even more surprised when the politicans prescribed changes to instruction, curriculum, textbooks, technology, school safety, teacher retention, student behavior, school funding, and even the menus for school cafeterias. More frustrated than ever, they intensified their barrage of common sense questions.

Parents worried that their children would be marginalized by their peers at school. They gave examples in which they were singled out because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, language, religion, or disabilities. They identified others who were picked out because of their family’s income, immigration status, association with the armed services, or attitudes towards medical issues. The parents were assured that changes were in the works to protect marginalized students. They reviewed changes to curricula, instruction, textbooks, disciplinary strategies, counseling techniques, tests, school-sponsored events, school terminology, athletic competitions, restroom policies, dress codes, disability policies, and extracurricular activities. Many parents had confidence in these changes. However, some were skeptical. The two groups argued with each other at local schoolboard meetings. They escalated their arguments after attracting the attention of journalists, scholars, and elected officials.
