一篇關于標準化教育測試及心理測試的辯論文章





Standardized tests should be considered in this context. They provide a quick, objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person learned, the skills he has developed, or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has, qualitatively, the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information. Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability.
標準化測試應該考慮在這樣的環(huán)境中使用。他們提供快捷、客觀的方法以獲取關于某個人學到了什么、他有哪些技能或者他屬于哪種人的一些信息。如同其他種類的信息，如此得來的信息在質(zhì)量方面也是兼有優(yōu)缺點。因此，究竟是采用測試還是其他種類的信息，或是在某一特定情況下兩者同時使用，須憑有關相對效度的經(jīng)驗依據(jù)而定，也取決于諸如成本和可用性等因素。
