Making Our Measurements Count.
Brighton, Malcolm
Evaluation and Research in Education, v14 n3&4 p124-35 2000
Explores what it would mean to "spread best practice" in educational measurement and considers lessons from the history of medicine and other scientific disciplines that are relevant to the development of educational theory and practice. Makes the case that these lessons point toward the use of less complex statistical tools and the collection and discussion of more (although less preprocessed) data. (SLD)
