Worthless T - Standard public school examina. tions with the same or similar ques- tions to be submitted .toAil of the pupils, in schools of the United States, may result from' efforts mdw' being made at Nrstqtr-trrn university by Prof. A; R. Gillliand. pretense! of, psychology. the in association; with hurt. R. M. Jordan, of Camdl’ uni- , versity, has 'tsstamlstistted" hook en- . titled “Educational fMeaturements and the Classroom Miser.” _ Both these authorities are agreed .upon 'one point: The old hit-or-miu examination or test, given at stated 101', varied intervals in the' grade .schools of the nationmurth gt, and in their stead there should be substitut- ed standardized tests upon scientific understanding of pupils, their intel-. ligence,. their achievements in scholar- ship and similar “tings. , V T Virtually Worthless . , It seems that when teacher ordinar- ily gives Willy and Susie the regula- tion examinations the tests are vir- tts"It,,"'t,',',tl'le"g' from the standpoint l of t a pupil and the teacher alike. For instance, Prof Gilliland asks this: If there are ,ten questions in the examination, should a miss of one. mean a. grade of 90, if that question . , (say. in arithmetic) is incorrect as to final result, but with the method of fUrurihtr correct and a minor error causing the mistake? Dr. 'Gilliland claims that some teachers mark such a paper, if all other questions are '4 rightly answered, " high as 97, while i some rate the test at 90 'iii.ij"iiijjji, " 92 or 93.- 'Moreover, the same f, C teachers will seldom. if ever mark 1 F the same examination " a similar' ', tate upon this ‘,hit-or-mias system; if a . errors in marking occur with respect , to all ten Questions. ' the professor . holds the case against hit-or-mi" ‘ tests is complete. Hence the need fot ‘a standardized test and treientfSp basis bf compiling the tests. Can Be Siaxdardised _ Tests in arithmetic, algebra, spel- ling, reading and writing can" be standardized, the professors state, and present graphs, diagrar'ns and scientific data to prove this claim.- The entire hit-or-miss examination‘ V system of the "Little Red School- house" as well as the modern brick - and marble institution is hard hit - by the up-to-the-Pimp' psychologist H and educator in this book. t HIGHLAND "Examination papers'am! not cor- aedted accurately even when medal proberly," is the claim. "Whenever "papers have been sent to groups of teachers to be corrected according to given standards, but without" further instructions, the variations havgcbeen no marked as _to reveal th greatest inaccuracies in making generally. j 'Aatonlshlu Fat ' "As more astonishing fact has been brought out by experiment. in that piper! corrected,» groups of tuck“ or: hive been submitted to than after a c'unsidenble lapse of the. for to- correction, and it luncheon demen- united that the name Richer: will not comet the same pipers twice alike.". . .
