Social Justice and Educational Measurement addresses foundational
concerns at the interface of standardized testing and social
justice in American schools. Following John Rawls's philosophical
methods, Stein builds and justifies an ethical framework for
guiding practices involving educational measurement. This framework
demonstrates that educational measurement can both inhibit and
ensure just educational arrangements. It also clarifies a
principled distinction between efficiency-oriented testing and
justice-oriented testing. Through analysis of several historical
case studies that exemplify ethical issues related to testing, this
book explores and propounds speculative design principles and
arguments in favour of radically democratic school reforms, which
address how the future of testing might be shaped to ensure justice
for all. These case studies cover the widespread use of IQ-style
testing in schools during the early decades of the 20th century;
the founding of the Educational Testing Service; and the recent
history of test-based accountability associated with No Child Left
Behind. Social Justice and Educational Measurement will be
essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate
students in education, testing and assessment, and the philosophy
of education. It will also be of interest to policymakers and
educational administrators.
