The SAGE encyclopedia of educational research, measurement, and evaluation

Abstract

This book covers the basics of traditional educational testing, measurement, and evaluation theory and methodology, as well as sociopolitical issues and trends influencing the future of that research and practice. In an era of curricular changes, experiments, and high-stakes testing, educational measurement and evaluation are more important than ever. The encyclopedia covers important sociopolitical issues and trends influencing the future of research and practice, in addition to traditional theories and methods. This comprehensive work fills that gap, covering traditional areas while pointing the way to future developments.
