"Measurement and Assessment in Education, "Second Edition, employs
a pragmatic approach to the study of educational tests and
measurement so that teachers will understand essential psychometric
concepts and be able to apply them in the classroom. The principles
that guide this text are:
- What essential knowledge and skills do classroom teachers need
to conduct student assessments in a professional manner?
- What does the research on educational assessment tell us?
This focus has resulted in a uniquely approachable and technically
accurate presentation of the material. While providing a slightly
more technical presentation of measurement and assessment than more
basic texts, this text is both approachable and comprehensive. The
text includes a gentle introduction to the basic mathematics of
measurement, and expands traditional coverage to include a thorough
discussion of performance and portfolio assessments, a complete
presentation of assessment accommodations for students with
disabilities, and a practical discussion of professional best
practices in educational measurement. Highlights of This Text

more technical aspects of educational assessment and gain a good
understanding of the mathematical concepts needed to master
measurement and assessment (Chapters 2--6).
- Ethical principles, legal issues, and professional standards
relevant to classroom assessment are covered thoroughly so that
students are prepared to conduct classroom assessments in a
professional and ethical manner (throughout the text, but
