On Standardized Testing.
Perrone, Vito
Childhood Education, v67 n3 p131-42 Spr 1991
Reviews the history and uses of standardized testing, and suggests alternative methods of assessment. States the belief that testing exerts undue pressure on children, provides no useful information on individual children, and limits educational possibilities. Discusses the Association for Childhood Education International position paper which states that all testing of young children in preschool and grades K-2 should cease. (BC)
