Written for assessment scholars and students both in mathematics education and across educational contexts, this book presents innovative research and perspectives on quantitative measures, including their associated purpose statements and validity arguments.
The aim of this book is to explore measures of mathematics knowledge, spanning K-16 grade levels. By focusing solely on mathematics content, such as knowledge of mathematical practices, knowledge of ratio and proportions, and knowledge of abstract algebra, this volume offers detailed discussions of specific instruments and tools meant for measuring student learning. Written for assessment scholars and students both in mathematics education and across educational contexts, this book presents innovative research and perspectives on quantitative measures, including their associated purpose statements and validity arguments.
"The authors of these ten chapters, all experts in mathematics education research, provide a broad yet unified message: increased validity and credibility are achievable via more "robust and rigorous measures in mathematics education." Each chapter includes extensive references. This book's audience includes mathematics education researchers, assessment specialists, and interested mathematics education students."
