MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Harry A. Greene, Albert N. Jorgensen and J. Raymond Gerberich Measurement and Evaluation in the Secondary School Previous editions of this book have proven to be dependable and welcome instruments of instruction and guidance in the field of educational tests and measurements. Hundreds of young teachers have obtained their first grasp of the problems and possibilities of measurement and evaluation from the pages of the predecessors of this volume. But even a timely and successful professional book requires revision. This book, as was true of its predecessor, is designed especially for the use of secondary-school teachers and students of secondary education. It continues to present the practical introductory discussion of the essential principles of measurement and evaluation which students and teachers in general find readable and valuable. Certain recent and significant changes in points of view and in methods and techniques of measurement, as well as an obvious lack of timeliness in certain of the illustrative materials in the earlier edition, now serve to make a revision desirable. The continued interest of instructors and students in the type of treatment presented in the earlier volumes has served to encourage the authors in the preparation of this further revision. The group specifically addressed in this volume is comprised of students and teachers whose major interests and responsibilities are in the secondary school. A second volume, parallel in general organization and treatment, is just as specifically addressed to those teachers and students who primarily face the problems of instruction, measurement, and evaluation at the elementary-school level. Illustrations, examples, and problems are chosen from material of suitable interest and concern to the reader. Many of the problems of measurement and evaluation are common to both the elementary and the secondary levels. The illustrations, however, are more meaningful if chosen from fields close to the fields of interest of the students and teachers. The present revision of these two volumes brings this treatment of measurement and evaluation quite up to the best thought and practices.
