Böcker av Zachary (Meridian University Stein

This book addresses foundational concerns at the interface of educational measurement and social justice. Following John Rawls's philosophical methods, Stein builds and justifies an ethical framework for guiding practices involving educational measurement which demonstrates that educational measurement is critical to insuring, or inhibiting, just educational arrangements, and distinguishes between efficiency- and justice-oriented testing. Analysing historical case studies which exemplify ethical testing issues, this book explores design principles and arguments in favour of radically democratic school reforms, which address how the future of testing might be shaped to ensure justice for all.
