Assessment,
Testing, and Evaluation in Teacher
Education
Editor:

With the national reform and research agendas occurring in teacher
education, one of the most important areas needing theoretical analysis
and empirical research is assessment and evaluation. New initiatives
in the education of teachers and new roles in professional practice demand
new means to assess both learning and performance.
In recognition
of this demand, this new volume examines how students can best be selected
for and evaluated while in teacher-education programs. The book reviews
and synthesizes the existing knowledge in teacher-education assessment,
and it presents new inquiry to extend and deepen the knowledge.
