DESCRIPTION:
"Excellent Reference for Assessing Mathematical Proficiency" according to laf. As a fourth year doctoral student, this book provided valuable insights in determining mathematical proficiency at various grade levels. The Deborah Ball chapter that transcribes an evaluation of a middle school student is exceptional. There is a video of this event archived on the web for review, too. Overall, very timely information. Initially, I was seeking research on assessing productive disposition - not much available on this item in this book.. Stephanie Guinn said Four Stars. Thank You!. Four Stars The journals were dry but informational.
Testing matters! It can determine kids' and schools' futures. It highlights the kinds of information that different assessments can offer, including many examples of some of the best mathematics assessments worldwide. In a conference at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, mathematicians, math education researchers, teachers, test developers, and policymakers gathered to work through critical issues related to mathematics assessment. A special feature is an interview with a student about his knowledge of fractions and a demonstration of what interviews (versus standardized tests) can reveal.. This volume presents the results of the discussions
The authors succeed in showing the complexity of the problem of assessing mathematical proficiency and the difference, sometimes dramatic, in the perception of this issue by various stakeholders. "Anyone interested in the current state of assessment in mathematics education will find this book relevant." Scott A. The majority of them convincingly argue in favor of tasks and procedures that would go beyond simple computational or operational abilities." Alex Kozulin, American Journal of Psychology . Fellows, Mathematics Teacher"The book is though provoking
