Raising Test Scores for All Students - Eugene Kennedy - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Raising Test Scores for All Students - Eugene Kennedy - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Finally—a school improvement plan that raises standardized test scores and improves your students′ performance! Standardized tests are so widely used in public schools, they seem to have been around forever. On the contrary, standardized testing as we know it today is a relatively recent phenomenon, and in today′s classrooms and schools the stakes have never been higher. For students, test results may determine whether they are promoted from one grade to another or if they receive their high school diplomas. For teachers, the pressures are equally great. Student outcomes on standardized tests are often directly linked to annual evaluations, pay raises, and even future employment. And for school administrators, these tests can determine the reputation of a school and be the basis for public rewards or demoralizing sanctions. Raising Test Scores for All Students marries knowledge about testing and test preparation with school improvement, providing a comprehensive guide for administrators looking for a systemic approach to the challenge of standardized testing. Eugene Kennedy includes a concise overview of the history and research on testing, case studies, flow charts and forms, as well as a four-step approach to improving performance: - - - Step 1: Adopting a Systemic Approach to Improvement and Change - - Step 2: Aligning the Educational Process with the Desired Outcome - - Step 3: Aligning the Education Process with Inputs - Step 4: Creating Positive Change . . . Plus strategies and techniques for motivating all your students. This innovative approach is an invaluable tool for any educator!

Nonparametric Statistics - Jean D. Gibbons Fielden - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Nonparametric Statistics - Jean D. Gibbons Fielden - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

" Nonparametric Statistics is a short and sweet introduction to the five most familiar nonparametric location tests and associated confidence intervals and multiple comparisons. . . . This book is extremely limited in coverage, but none the worse for that. You won′t find anything on the Fisher Exact Test, or measures of association for the cases covered. What you will find is good, accurate, comprehensible accounts of location tests for two or more treatments. . . . The book is well-written throughout, with fewer than expected mistakes. . . . All in all, a good basic introduction to nonparametric tests, with few frills, as you would expect. The computer package comparisons sound very useful warning bells and are a welcome frill." --British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology Using actual research investigations that have appeared in recent social science journals, Jean Dickinson Gibbons shows you the specific methodology and logical rationale for many of the best-known and most frequently used nonparametric methods (that are applicable for most small and large sample sizes). The methods are organized according to the type of sample structure that produced the data, and the inference types covered are limited to location tests, such as the sign test, the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Friedman′s test. Formal introductions to each test are followed by a data example, calculated first by hand and then by computer.
