However, the publication has a wider remit than this as it proves an overview of educational testing that is well researched, evidenced, and useful for students, practitioners and academics of educational psychology. Boyle and Fisher's book contains chapters that detail (always with very accessible worked examples) the systematic processes involved in educational testing. For example, the reader is taken from 'Defining the Assessment Needs' through, 'The Importance of Reliability and Validity', to 'Making Appropriate Use of Test Results...'. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | The Psychologist, 20(12), p. 750-750 | Publisher: | The British Psychological Society | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 0952-8229 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130312 Special Education and Disability | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930101 Learner and Learning Achievement | HERDC Category Description: | D3 Review of Single Work |
