Fairness Issues in Educational Assessment

Editat de Hossein Karami
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2016
Fairness and ethicality have been at the center of the debates on the appropriate use of educational tests since the 1960s. Particularly in high-stakes contexts, it is clear that fairness should be a major concern to both the test developers, and to those being tested, given that the fairness of a test is so intertwined with its validity.
Fairness Issues in Educational Assessment aims to shed more light on the issue and bring to sight some of the ways in which test fairness can be addressed. The contributions, written by some of the most prominent figures in educational assessment, address both theoretical and practical aspects of test fairness. The wealth of ideas presented here will be valuable to novice researchers and help them appreciate both the joy and complexity of conducting fair educational measurement.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Research and Evaluation.

This book sheds more light on some of the ways in which test fairness can be addressed, by exploring both the theoretical and the practical aspects of test fairness.
