All those errors, falsehoods and psychometric fudgings render any results COMPLETELY INVALID therefore making any conclusions drawn from that corrupt data "vain and illusory." <br /><br />Duane Swackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862054631331567527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-15479233544620937802018-12-06T13:01:44.856-05:002018-12-06T13:01:44.856-05:00A note to all standardized testing advocates, test...A note to all standardized testing advocates, test developers and policy makers:<br /><br />STOP TESTING SUBJECTIVE CONTENT!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />REPEAT AFTER ME:<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br />"SUBJECTIVITY CANNOT BE STANDARDIZED"<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-36454228382200956122018-12-06T09:58:42.369-05:002018-12-06T09:58:42.369-05:00"No one knows for certain if the tests are be..."No one knows for certain if the tests are better or worse for being so cautious."<br /><br />He didn't seriously write that, did he? Especially in light of the rest of what he wrote? I mean, not that there actually is such a thing as a "better or worse" test, but, seriously? We don't know whether making tests dull AF makes them better or worse?Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-13714549903446509072018-12-06T09:05:31.400-05:002018-12-06T09:05:31.400-05:00OH MY!

So I guess we can all agree now, that the tests can't/don't measure critical thinking skills at all and CC was never about critical thinking at all. When will there be a revolt and the tests (and testing companies) just drop off the edge of the earth?edblisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792046029260177146noreply@blogger.com
