DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Educational Measurement, 1951 Certainly, developments in the testing field are both so extensive and complex as to justify and make necessary comprehensive periodical reviews in order that we may know where we are. For this reason it is particularly appropriate that the Council's Committee on Measurement and Guidance should have planned the general character and manner of executing the publication of the present book on educational measurement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from How to Measure Other studies have been made. One of similar character, which has led to the formation of a spelling scale, was conducted by Dr. Leonard P. Ayres. Dr. Ayres examined a total Of words written by 2500 different persons. This was a summary of previous studies. The first of these studies included in all about words taken from standard literary selections. The second was an analysis of 250 different articles which appeared in four Sunday news papers published in Buffalo. The third consisted of the tabulations of words from 2000 Short business letters. The fourth consisted of some words taken from the family correspondence of 13 adults. The Ayres study has the advantage of being based upon the words used by adults, and if we assume that the schools must prepare for active social participation on the adult level, then certainly Dr. Ayres' study would be above criticism from the standpoint Of determining the fundamental words of the English language in common use for writing purposes. The Jones study and the Ayres study are in complete agree ment as to the simplicity and small compass of the writing vocabulary. Any adequate test must be based upon the words of the language that are in common use and fundamental in written work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Fifteenth Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, Vol. 1: Standards and Tests for the Measurement of the Efficiency of Schools and School Systems In the pages which follow, the Committee on Standards and Tests Of the National Council of Education presents a series of reports pre pared by its own members and by others who have, upon invitation of the committee, been willing to contribute results Of their study or investigation. The committee feels that these reports furnish most satisfactory evidence Of the progress which has been made in the field of educational measurement during the past few years. The papers of the several contributors may, in general, be classified as contributing (i) to the derivation of scales or units of measurement, and (2) to the application of such units or scales of measurement as have been derived in the field Of educational administration or supervision. In printing, the papers have been grouped as indicated above. It seems unnecessary with this report in hand to argue in favor of the use of the more precise methods of measurement which have recently been developed. Those interested in the improvement of our schools have always attempted by some method or other to estimate the effi ciency of individual schools or school systems. Often this measurement has been based upon an Opinion not acceptable to another student or investigator, and not frequently upon attempts to measure which have been extremely crude. The examination system as we have commonly had it, not only has been responsible for judgments with respect to the efficiency of schools, or Of school systems, but has also determined in very considerable measure in most school systems the progress of children. In the studies which are reported here, more precise measures give to the student of education a better basis in knowledge of conditions upon which to base his criticism or to develop his improved method Of instruction or administration. The measurement Of results of any sort, whether of the achievements in School subjects, of the cost of any unit or function, or of the rate of progress, and the like, furnishes primarily a knowledge of the situation which makes clear the problems involved, and which may suggest a method of experiment that looks toward the improvement desired.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Measuring Textbooks The skilled workman chooses his tools with discrimination. In making his choice, he has in mind three things: the results to be accomplished through the use of the tool, the characteristics of the material on which the tool is to be used, and his own peculiar requirements as the user of the tool. And he selects the tool that best combines the qualities demanded by these three considerations. So the carpenter selects his saw, the wood-chopper his ax, the blacksmith his hammer, even the ditch-digger his shovel and the bootblack his brush. Textbooks are tools. To be serviceable, they must be adapted, like other tools, to the three considerations: the end to be accomplished by their use, the material in connection with which they arc to be used, and the needs of the user. These three considerations are represented respectively by the objectives sought in the given subject, the pupils who are to be made to realize or to embody these objectives, and the teacher and her pupils who are to use the given text as a means of attaining the desired objectives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK. Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Methods in Education Usage puts a preface in every text-book and so you find one here. But the measure of value is in the body of the'text, not in the preface. The gateway is not a true criterion of the fruits in the field. The books on school methods can be easily classified. Some rest upon the abstract theories of psychology, exalting rigid formality; some present mere outlines in logical forms, leaving the student to find and adapt the subject-matter; others elabo rate particular methods suited to the respective subjects of instruction. All these are good, but still the young student wavers beneath the uncertainty of knowing exactly what to do. Hence, this book is prepared to satisfy the actual needs of teachers.
