註釋Analyzing the costs and benefits of educational testing holds promise for helping educators and policymakers make decisions about reforming assessment in the '90s. This report examines data from two previous studies: a study on teacher certification testing and a national study on minimum competency testing for high school graduation. Economic analysis forces policy makers to take a hard look at the actual benefits of testing -- its positive motivational outcomes and its potential for discouraging students from finishing their high school education. The study contrasts costs and benefits of traditional standardized tests with performance-based tests.
