| Abstract | The contribution that educational psychologists can make to the improvement of the assessment of educational effects are discussed. Examined are ways in which current psychological knowledge, particularly psychometrics and learning theory, is relevant to: the selection of appropriate criterion measures, the measurement of educational processes, the description of the initial status of the learner, and the analysis of field data. Predictive validity, treatability, and parsimony--three key principles of criteria selection--suggest that the most important criterion for assessing educational programs is general intellectual development. Refered to is work on process measurement in which the author proposes a model of classroom learning which identifies four major process dimensions which assess the opportunity for learning, the degree to which the environment enhances motivation to learn, the quality of the structure of the curriculum, and the effectiveness of the instructional events. To measure the initial status of the learner, the author suggests measuring the dimensions of individual differences that are expected to be affected by the program being assessed, prior to its initiation. Characteristics of an effective statistical model for deriving useful information from these observations are discussed. (Author/RC) |
