| 520 | _aWritten with Bandura's social learning theory in mind, Testing and Measurement: A User-Friendly Guide allows students to master testing and measurement through a three-stage learning process: presentation of information, modeling, and practice with direct feedback. Authors Sharon E. Robinson Kurpius and Mary E. Stafford guide students through the essential components of measurement, starting with measurement scales and ending with reliability and validity. Taking the attitude that everyone can learn testing and measurement concepts, the authors make this learning process fun and non-threatening. Each chapter presents the concepts in small, accessible bits, accompanied by models that are both numerical and pictorial." "Testing and Measurement is designed for undergraduate and graduate courses on testing and measurement in education, sociology, social welfare, psychology, and counseling. The book is an invaluable supplement to the classic, often overwhelmingly comprehensive, textbooks currently available for these courses. | ||
