The "Standards" Will Never Be Enough: A Racial Justice Extension
Poe, Mya; Oliveri, Maria Elena; Elliot, Norbert
Applied Measurement in Education, v36 n3 p193-215 2023
Since 1952, the "Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing" has provided criteria for developing and evaluating educational and psychological tests and testing practice. Yet, we argue that the foundations, operations, and applications in the "Standards" are no longer sufficient to meet the current U.S. testing demands for fairness for all test takers. We propose racial justice extensions as principled ways to extend the "Standards," through intentional actions focused on race and targeted at educational policies, processes, and outcomes in specific settings. To inform these extensions, we focus on four social-justice concepts: intersectionality derived from Black Feminist Theory; responsibility derived from moral philosophy; disparate impact derived from legal reasoning; and situatedness derived from social learning theories. We demonstrate these extensions and concepts in action by applying them to case studies of nursing licensure and placement testing.
