Madni, Ayesha; Baker, Eva L.; Chow, Kirby A.; Delacruz, Girlie C.; Griffin, Noelle C. – Review of Research in Education, 2015
The focus of this chapter is on the description and assessment of teachers' social psychological factors, using the scientific literature as a base. Research on teachers' social psychological domains has an ultimate goal of populating classrooms with competent people who can model and incite behaviors that assist students in their own learning.…

Baker, Eva L. – Teachers College Record, 2013
Background/Context: Education policy over the past 40 years has focused on the importance of accountability in school improvement. Although much of the scholarly discourse around testing and assessment is technical and statistical, understanding of validity by a non-specialist audience is essential as long as test results drive our educational…

Baker, Eva L.; Barton, Paul E.; Darling-Hammond, Linda; Haertel, Edward; Ladd, Helen F.; Linn, Robert L.; Ravitch, Diane; Rothstein, Richard; Shavelson, Richard J.; Shepard, Lorrie A. – Economic Policy Institute, 2010
Every classroom should have a well-educated, professional teacher, and school systems should recruit, prepare, and retain teachers who are qualified to do the job. Yet in practice, American public schools generally do a poor job of systematically developing and evaluating teachers. Many policy makers have recently come to believe that this failure…

Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Nagashima, Sam O.; Espinosa, Paul D.; Berka, Chris; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2009
In this report, researchers examined rifle marksmanship development within a skill development framework outlined by Chung, Delacruz, de Vries, Bewley, and Baker (2006). Thirty-three novice shooters used an M4 rifle training simulator system to learn to shoot an 8-inch target at a simulated distance of 200 yards. Cognitive, psychomotor, and…

Baker, Eva L. – Center for Research on Evaluation Standards and Student Testing CRESST, 2004
Throughout the last 40 years, educational policymakers have designed educational interventions for the purpose of improving the learning of disadvantaged students and of children with special needs, beginning with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). More than 20 years ago, with the publication of "A Nation at Risk" (National…

Niemi, David; Baker, Eva L.; Sylvester, Roxanne M. – Educational Assessment, 2007
To provide an accurate reading of students' and schools' rates of progress, and to provide cues for instruction, assessment at every level should be connected to explicit learning goals and standards. To show how this requirement can be fulfilled, and how research-based assessment can effectively support learning and instruction, this article…

Vendlinski, Terry P.; Delacruz, Girlie C.; Buschang, Rebecca E.; Chung, Gregory K. W. K.; Baker, Eva L. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2010
The evaluation of educational interventions requires assessments that consistently (reliably) produce data from which accurate (valid) inferences about the test subjects can be made for some stated purpose. Despite codified definitions of all these terms, there remains vibrant debate about the assessment design process and how measures of…

Vendlinski, Terry P.; Baker, Eva L.; Niemi, David – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2008
Assessing whether students can both re-present a corpus of learned knowledge and also demonstrate that they can apply that knowledge to solve problems is key to assessing student understanding. This notion, in turn, impacts our thinking about what we assess, how we author such assessments, and how we interpret assessment results. The diffusion of…
