STANDARDIZED TESTING: Is It Effective? Do you remember the excitement you experienced when you rushed home from elementary school, just to make sure you wouldn't miss the latest episode of your favorite TV show? Our whole life seemed to depend on whether or not Hannah Montana wrote her new song about Jake or Jesse. Likewise, this is how standardized testing appears to most high school kids; exciting and/or life-defining. Standardized tests are required for most students, but are they even…

What would education be like without testing? Standardized testing, such as the ACT and SAT, has become the sole way to examine the knowledge and growth potential of a highschool student. There are two different views on standardized testing: it is an accurate representation of knowledge or it is not an effective test of knowledge. The success of students, schools, and teachers are all measured by these tests in some way. Teachers’ success as an educator can be determined from the students’…

There has been an academic stress in China while taking standardized testing. Many Chinese students are feeling extremely overwhelmed that their stress and anxiety levels are increasing a lot than the United States. According to the Chicago Policy review, Louise Geraghty wrote, “A strong culture of academic achievement famously exists in China, and Chinese students outperform much of the rest of the world on standardized exams. However, this high level of achievement comes at a price. Chinese…

Many corporations and mathematicians use all type of research to gather enough evidence to get even close to the infamous swings. “An analysis is made of a variance measure which could improve the predictive validity of a classical historical variance estimate. Latane and Rendleman derived standard deviations implied in actual call option prices (ISDs) after assuming that investors price options according to the Black-Scholes model. Their results indicated that…

of these validation studies conducted is called criterion-related validation, second content validation and lastly, construct validation which is comprised of components of reliability and the other two types of validation. Criterion-Related Validation includes validity strategies which focus on the correlation of the test being administered with outside measure with the same specifications.in an organization. During the staffing process criterion-relation occurs in the method of processing.…

traditional models of validity The meaning and definition of validity has evolved from the review of Meehl’s classic (1995), although validity research emphasizes on assessing the relationship between predictor and criterion where in most cases the criterion becomes the self report. There are two models of validity which include the process-focused (PF) model and the traditional validity model. In the two models, they both test for the relationship between test score and criterion as well as…

objective of an intelligence or achievement test is used to classify people in a particular category or to help us identify people that have a particular characteristic. In order to consider the test credible it has to meet three important requirements: validity, reliability and standardization. If it does not meet these characteristics, we cannot be sure to trust in the conclusions or results of the evaluation. How do we make sure the test is reliable? According to the textbook, reliability is…

reliability and validity of the CTOPP. The CTOPP is used to identify individuals ages 5 years to 24 years and 11 months, who are significantly below their peers in important phonological abilities. Due to the wide age range covered…

collect the needed information on whether a potential training program would be beneficial, Jensen conducted a quasi-experiment at the Generico Company workplace. One advantage of using this research method is the findings may have more external validity. The participants, Jensen’s sales staff, are in a realistic setting that mimics their day-to-day work. Despite this pro, Jensen has less control over other variables that may impact the findings of his quasi-experiment. There are likely outside…
