Testing, Measurement, Assessment Mastering Modern Psychological
Testing: Theory & Methods presents quality written research in
a thorough and comprehensive manner that allows students to master
the material. This text provides a comprehensive introduction to
psychological assessment and covers areas not typically addressed
in existing test and measurements texts such as neuropsychological
assessment and the use of tests in forensics settings. "Mastering
Modern Psychological Testing" addresses special topics in
psychological testing and includes special material on test
development written by a leading test developer as well as relevant
examples. The book is designed for undergraduate courses in
Psychological Testing / Assessment / Testing Theory & Methods.
Learning Goals Upon completing this book, readers should be able
to: * Understand what constitutes a psychological test, how tests
are developed, how they are best used, and how to evaluate their
strengths and weaknesses * Recognize the development process and
how the psychometric properties of tests are constructed so they
have the generalized knowledge to always learn about any test *
Engage in areas of testing that represent different approaches to
measuring different psychological constructs * Understand the
difficult and demanding area of how tests are applied and
interpreted across cultures within the United States
"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
- This text is very user friendly, helping students to master the
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
specifically in Chapter 17).
- An entire chapter (Chapter15) isdevoted to the use of
assessments for students with disabilities to prepare students to
assess the knowledge and skills of all students, including those
with disabilities.
- Contemporary issues regarding the assessment of students are
covered in detail so that students are aware of important issues
related to educational assessment.
- Numerous pedagogical devices such as exercises, cases, and
end-of-chapter problems are included throughout the text so that
students can explore topics further.
- Audio enhanced PowerPointTM lectures featuring Dr. Victor
Willson are particularly useful for student review and mastery of
the material presented.
- A Test Bank is also available to instuctors.
