The Muddles of Measurement-Driven Instruction.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v68 n9 p688-89 May 1987
Offers the final word on the measurement-driven instruction (MDI) debate in this "Kappan" issue. Claims that Popham's article is internally inconsistent and provides no examples of well-constructed, instructionally illuminative tests. Also lacking are teacher testimonials and evidence that MDI programs are cost-effective or oriented toward basic skills. (MLH)
