Teacher Response to Competency Testing on the Maryland Test for Citizenship Skills.
Cirrincione, Joseph M.; Farrell, Richard T.
Social Education, v56 n2 p109-11 Feb 1992
Discusses the Maryland Test of Citizenship Skills and the controversy surrounding its adoption. Presents results of a study of teachers' attitudes toward the test and remediation efforts. Concludes that competency-based testing discourages higher level thinking but encourages recall. Suggests that performance on the test does not reflect students' future contribution as citizens. (DK)
