Cooper, Amanda; Klinger, Don A.; McAdie, Patricia – Educational Research, 2017
Background: Within the realm of public education, there is a well-known "knowledge to practice gap" on current conceptions of classroom assessment. A collaborative research project undertaken by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and a research team at Queen's University explored the roots of this gap from the…

Blaich, Charles F.; Wise, Kathleen S. – New Directions for Institutional Research, 2010
Most assessment arguments are about measurement. When is it better to use direct versus indirect measures of student learning? Is one standardized test of critical thinking better than another? Is applying rubrics to student work better than using standardized tests? How valid are self-reported measures of learning? Although these arguments are…

McDuffie, Kimberly A.; Scruggs, Thomas E. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
In response to recent trends and legislation, the concept of implementing evidence-based practices has become a critical component of contemporary schooling.

Wise, Robert I. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1980
Good evaluation shares much with good teaching. What makes an evaluation useful can depend on qualities of teaching brought to the evaluator's role. (Available from: Jossey-Bass, Inc., 433 California St., San Francisco, CA 94104, single issue, $6.95.) (Author)

Paulston, Rolland G. – 1979
Theories or explanations of educational evaluation are discussed and categorized under two broad methodological headings, the objectivist and subjectivist epistemological orientations. They can be seen as potentially complementary empirical approaches that offer evaluators two methodological orientations to assess educational-reform outcomes.…

Alkin, Marvin C. – 1979
Suggestions for broadening the utilization of evaluation research findings are discussed. Major program changes, based on evaluation, may not become obvious for several years; program actions may contradict findings and still be based on rational decision making processes; evaluation findings may have far-reaching effects which were not recognized…

Merwin, Jack C.; Wiener, Paul H. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1985
This paper assesses the status of evaluation as a profession and examines the consequences of not attending to the manner in which the discipline evolves. Special concerns are (1) what the profession seeks to accomplish; (2) ways in which it functions; and (3) who can be identified as "professionals." (LMO)

Fletcher, Jerry L. – 1978
Questions are raised about the future of research and development evaluation. Without a set of overarching policy questions or theoretical questions, evaluation data are simply not cumulative and cannot be organized into any data base. Education has never been a data-based enterprise. The meaning of evaluation should be broadened to include the…

In a survey of educational researchers, school and district administrators, and policymakers, 1,818 respondents rated educational practices and policies according to their influence on learning and assessability. Classroom practices, design and delivery of curriculum, and schoolwide practices were rated as more influential than federal, state, and…

Hilliard, Asa G., III – 1984
Effective evaluation requires evaluators and users to be clear about tasks they are performing in terms of purpose for evaluation, type of data-gathering procedures to be used, and the audience to which results are to be directed. Four things are required if the art-science of educational evaluation is to reach its full potential: (1) an explicit…

Haney, Walt – 1982
A needs assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is presented. It deals with cost, design and technical issues, and utility. Suggestions include cost reduction via assessment schedule cutbacks and re-use of released NAEP exercises; and a shift from federal to private funding by selling NAEP exercises with interpretative…
