Student Assessment in Eight Countries.

Levinson, Cynthia Y.

Educational Leadership, v57 n5 p58-61 Feb 2000

Across five continents, operant testing schemes are the assessment equivalent of an English jumble sale. Test types, rationales, preparation times, and scoring practices are equally diverse in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, England, Germany, Israel, and Japan. Most systems are in flux or under scrutiny. (MLH)
