Teacher-Centered Fallacies of Classroom Assessment Validity and Reliability.
Mertler, Craig A.
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v13 n4 p29-35 Fall 2000
A study of methods used to ensure validity and reliability in classroom assessments surveyed 625 elementary and secondary teachers in Ohio. Results indicate teachers spent little time conducting statistical analyses of their student evaluation data, and many techniques used were poor and inadequate. Additional professional development and improved teacher education in measurement techniques are recommended. (Contains 15 references.) (TD)
