Assessing Academic AchievementAssessing Academic Achievement approaches student assessment as an integral component of a total educational plan rather than as an ancillary. The author draws on years of first-hand experience in both public school and university settings, suggesting that frequently educators disconnect assessment from the other elements of their educational plan. This book balances traditional methods of "authentic assessment" with an investigation and evaluation of alternative approaches. The result is an eclectic approach that exposes students to a full range of assessment principles. MARLET: For anyone interested in Educational Psychology / School Psychology. |
