Testing matters It can determine kids' and schools' futures. In a
conference at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute,
mathematicians, maths education researchers, teachers, test
developers, and policymakers gathered to work through critical
issues related to mathematics assessment. They examined: * The
challenges of assessing student learning in ways that support
instructional improvement; * Ethical issues related to assessment,
including the impact of testing on urban and high-poverty schools;
* The different (and sometimes conflicting) needs of the different
groups; and * Different frameworks, tools, and methods for
assessment, comparing the kinds of information they offer about
students' mathematical proficiency. This volume presents the
results of the discussions. It highlights the kinds of information
that different assessments can offer, including many examples of
some of the best mathematics assessments worldwide. A special
feature is an interview with a student about his knowledge of
fractions and a demonstration of what interviews (versus
standardized tests) can reveal.
