Discussion 1: High-Stakes Testing
High-stakes testing is a process in which a test is given that has significant consequences for the test taker if he or she does not pass the test or achieve a certain score. Examples include high school graduation tests, entrance exams into universities, and other methods of making academic placements. The debate brings to light whether high-stakes testing is a valid process in measuring academic achievement and whether or not it is a fair method of assessment.
For this Discussion, consider the benefits and consequences associated with high-stakes testing and whether or not high-stakes testing should be used in academic achievement.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a brief explanation of two benefits and two consequences of high-stakes achievement testing. Then explain whether or not high-stakes testing should be used to measure academic achievement. Please make use of the provided articles as resources before looking elsewhere.
