As the commitment to performance assessments as a strategy of
reform has increased across the nation, so has the controversy
surrounding the purposes, development, implementation, and effects
of alternative forms of assessment. One of the first of its kind,
this edited volume provides an incisive and comprehensive account
of the issues pertaining to performance assessments. The 10 papers
comprising the volume were originally written to establish a
conceptual framework for a three-year U.S. Department of Education,
Office of Educational Research and Improvement sponsored national
study of performance assessments.
Written by leading experts in the field, the papers explicate the
central issues regarding the development, implementation, and
utility of performance assessments. The topics covered by the
papers include:
* a discussion of contemporary as well as historical events in the
performance assessment movement;
* technical characteristics of performance assessments, including
reliability, validity, generalizability, and calibration;
* conceptualization and calculation of the costs of performance
assessments;
* the implications of performance assessments on students who have
traditionally done less well in American schools, including racial
and linguistic minorities;
* the fit between performance assessments and organizational
change in education; and
* the utilization of performance assessment as an instrument of
state policy.
Readers will find the policy and technical issues covered in this
volume to be useful from a variety of academic, research, and
policy perspectives including conceptualizing and implementing
performance assessments.
