Implementing Curricular Change through State-Mandated Testing: Ethical Issues.
Mathison, Sandra
Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, v6 n3 p201-12 Spr 1991
Explores the ethical issues involved in using standardized tests to implement a state-level policy. Examines the fourth grade science program evaluation test administered in New York State for the first time in 1989. A utilitarian view of ethics ignores the consequences of testing for different constituents, obviates caring behavior, and damages students. (15 references) (MLH)
