practice” (1991, p. 354). Research in the U.S. supports these observations. For example, Su’s (1990) study, based on interviews with 112 educators, found that although teachers stated that they valued critical thinking they did not implement it in their classrooms. Similarly, in her study of a three-year project to foster critical thinking in social studies, McKee (1988) found that teachers spent only four percent of class time on reasoning activities.

O presente artigo ocupa-se das avaliações educacionais externas de larga escala e seus
efeitos no cotidiano escolar. O cenário material no qual nosso estudo se situa diz respeito às transformações que marcaram as últimas três décadas no cenário educativo brasileiro responsáveis
pela mudança na tônica da avaliação da aprendizagem no interior das escolas em direção à onipresença das avaliações externas – com especial atenção aos movimentos de constituição de um
macrossistema nacional de avaliação da educação e da multiplicação de outros sistemas locais.
Com o objetivo de refletir sobre as implicações das avaliações de larga escala para os educandos,
ocupamo-nos dos sistemas avaliativos estadual e municipal do estado do Amazonas e de sua
capital: trata-se do Sistema de Avaliação do Desempenho Educacional do Amazonas (SADEAM) e
da Avaliação do Desempenho do Estudante (ADE). A partir de um estudo de caso de uma escola
estadual localizada na Zona Oeste de Manaus, com base nos resultados alcançados no SADEAM
(2011-2015), foi possível compreender a relação existente entre a realização das avaliações de
larga escala e o processo de ensino- aprendizagem das crianças nas escolas manauaras.

In this technical report, we provide reliability and validity evidence for the easyCBM® Reading measures for grade 2 (word and passage reading fluency and multiple choice reading comprehension). Evidence for reliability includes internal consistency and item invariance. Evidence for validity includes concurrent, predictive, and construct validities for performance level scores, as well as slope of improvement. Reliability of alternate forms and content validity were analyzed previously (references to previous technical reports are provided). Internal consistency, split-half reliability, and reliability of growth slopes were moderate. For concurrent and predictive validities, multiple choice reading comprehension was a better predictor of SAT10 scores than either word or passage reading fluency. Construct validity was supported by strong model fit indices. Overall, predictive validity coefficients for all students on all measures were positive and low. Technical Adequacy of the easyC...

Introduction This paper examines problems school-level staff encounter when attempting to implement data-based decision-making reform efforts, specifically those focused on teaching and learning in the classroom. The paper also offers recommendations for professional development that address gaps in traditional principal and teacher training. Many schools and districts are exploring data-driven decision making as a solution for improving resource allocation and instructional program decisions. One of the most challenging problems policy makers and educators face in attempting to implement curriculum reforms is that intervent...

This paper attempts to offer an alternative framework for assessing education delivery in South Africa. Its purpose is to develop an analytic approach for understanding education delivery in South Africa in the last 11 years and to use this framework to pose a set of strategic questions about how policy might be framed to deal with delivery. The paper begins with a quick review of the country's achievements and challenges in education and shows that a failure to produce a high quality education system remains the country's primary challenge. The broad approach that is taken is to suggest that dominant approaches for understanding this lack of performance underplay the specificity of the country's context and specifically so its apartheid legacy. This legacy, it is argued, continues to be determinative in shaping, and accounting for the character of current social behaviour in the country, including the performance of children in schools.

This paper reports on a newly designed judgmental method for setting test performance standard that: (1) overcome many of the practical and psychometric problems associated with the Angoff and Ebel methods; (2) can be used to set multiple cut points on a score scale; (3) may be readily and efficiently implemented with assessments that use objective or constructed response items or both; and (4) allows participation in the standard setting process of persons who may not be educators or not necessarily familiar with the instruction of individuals with whom the examination will be used. In addition to describing the new approach, the paper reports on data gathered using the procedure in an actual standard setting process as part of a high stakes assessment program and provides comparative standard setting results in relation to the Angoff procedure. Results of the psychometric study and evaluation demonstrate the new approach to have decided benefits and features meriting its continued...

In this presentation, PhD findings related to AOP rating processes on two EAP modules were shared. The talk highlighted the complex nature of rater decision-making, which was demonstrated to entail far more than mapping a performance to a rating scale. The teacher-assessors in critically thinking about what they are doing illuminate fundamental validity and ethical issues involved in reaching score decisions in gatekeeping assessment. It was argued that grounded ethnographic work, which gets to the heart of teacher-assessor thinking and actions, offers crucial insights into rating behaviour which prompt us to reconsider notions of validity in performance assessment.

This paper reports on a conference held at the Leyte Institute of Technology, Tacloban City, The Philippines. Entitled: Qualitative Approaches to Educational Evaluation, it was a cooperative venture between the College of Arts and Sciences at the Leyte Institute of Technology and the School of Education at Flinders University. A central purpose of the conference was to introduce participants to the possibilities that qualitative approaches to research offer educational evaluation. However, it provided more than an opportunity to simply explore the application of qualitative techniques to educational evaluation. The conference situated those techniques within a broad, Action Research, planning framework so that by the end of the conference, participants would be able to design, implement, and manage entire evaluation projects.
