Question: Do Standardized Tests Measure General Cognitive Skills? Answer: No.
Marzano, Robert J.; Costa, Arthur L.
Educational Leadership, v45 n8 p66-71 May 1988
When the Stanford and CTBS achievement batteries were analyzed, two major findings emerged: (1) the test items included only nine of the 22 general cognitive operations; and (2) the required general cognitive operations had little to do with student achievement on these tests. Implications and alternative assessment techniques are discussed. Includes 22 references. (MLH)
