Abstract

ABSTRACT Jennifer Randall’s paper on justice-oriented assessment and Randy Bennett’s paper on socioculturally responsive assessment address fairness in the testing of racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse student populations by providing principles and recommendations for improved assessment practice. I warn about the perils of assuming that principles and recommendations suffice to promote fair testing in the absence of serious changes in the entire process of assessment. I liken the limitations of this over-reliance on principles and recommendations to the limitations of the fairness chapter of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, whose wording portraits actions to address fairness in testing as optional. A transformative agenda on assessment practice needs to be based on a systemic perspective that involves all components and stages in the assessment process and needs to aim to produce a paradigm shift that establishes more rigorous expectations about what counts as fairness in assessment.
我们对测试的公平性有多认真?我们愿意走多远?对Randall和Bennett关于教育和心理测试标准的思考
摘要Jennifer Randall关于公正导向评估的论文和Randy Bennett关于社会文化响应评估的论文通过为改进评估实践提供原则和建议,解决了种族、文化和语言多样性学生群体测试中的公平性问题。我警告说,在整个评估过程没有发生重大变化的情况下,假设原则和建议足以促进公平测试是危险的。我将这种过度依赖原则和建议的局限性比作《教育和心理测试标准》公平章节的局限性,该章节的措辞将解决测试公平问题的行动描述为可选。关于评估实践的变革性议程需要建立在一个涉及评估过程所有组成部分和阶段的系统视角之上,并需要旨在产生一种范式转变,对评估中的公平性建立更严格的期望。

期刊介绍: Educational Assessment publishes original research and scholarship on the assessment of individuals, groups, and programs in educational settings. It includes theory, methodological approaches and empirical research in the appraisal of the learning and achievement of students and teachers, young children and adults, and novices and experts. The journal reports on current large-scale testing practices, discusses alternative approaches, presents scholarship on classroom assessment practices and includes assessment topics debated at the national level. It welcomes both conceptual and empirical pieces and encourages articles that provide a strong bridge between theory and/or empirical research and the implications for educational policy and/or practice.
