Description
Issues in Setting Standards Establishing Comparabilities
View AllClose
This volume addresses three key research issues: setting educational standards, obtaining those standards, and comparing their relative merits. It brings together international researchers to discuss topics such as the feasibility of common standards, the comparability of national curricula, and the role of testing in assessment.
The book is arranged into three categories for ease of access, but a common thread throughout is the growing trend towards outcomes-oriented standards in education. The question remains whether this shift prioritises quality control over the processes involved.
