- W1521103693 abstract "Abstract This study was designed to identify and compare various educators' perceptions (N=495) of the effectiveness of practices related to the dissemination of the results from their schools' standardized testing programs. Contrary to what might have been expected from prior research, these educators rated the effectiveness of their schools' performance in disseminating the results of standardized testing higher than they perceived their schools' performance in meeting overall district responsibilities. Dissemination practices in which the schools' performance was rated highest were reporting results to supervisors and principals, reporting results to teachers, and reporting results to parents. Practices in which the schools' performance was rated lowest were reporting results to the community and counselors' meetings with supervisors, teachers, and pupils to share testing results. Teachers' ratings of the performance of their schools, particularly secondary teachers, were lower than the administrators' ratings, and educators assigned to elementary schools rated the performance of their schools higher than did their secondary cohorts. Also, contrary to some prior research findings, these educators indicated that their schools nearly always disseminated the results of standardized testing to parents, teachers, supervisors, and principals and most of the time to pupils, particularly to those pupils in the upper grades. Communicating Test Results Among Ohio Schools: Educators' Perceptions The increased use of standardized tests in recent years has raised anew concerns about how the results of testing are communicated, about how the results of testing are used by various groups of educators, and about what effects this testing has upon pupils and the teaching-learning process (Paris, Lawton, Turner, & Roth, 1991). Further accentuating these concerns about the impact of testing, educators typically do not appear to have a positive attitude toward standardized testing despite the increased use of testing as a tool for school reform. For example, in some schools educational administrators reported that they do not convey standardized test results to their teachers (Wood, 1982). And when test results are conveyed to teachers, the results are commonly not available until six or eight weeks after the administration of the tests which further reduces the probable use of the testing information in daily teaching activities (Hall, Carroll, & Comer, 1988). Still other research related to educators' attitudes toward standardized testing indicates that many counselors feel that the use of tests in counseling on the whole is a sad disappointment (Miller, 1982), and classroom teachers, themselves, report a low valuing of and very limited use of the results from standardized testing in their day-to-day classroom instruction (Linn, 1990). Apprehension about increased standardized testing is further accentuated by lack of understanding of and limited formal measurement training of many classroom teachers (Diamond & Fremer, 1989) and in some cases of testing directors, themselves (Marso & Pigge, 1994). The current availability of economical, high capacity computers has brought new potential solutions, and perhaps problems, to the task of conveying the results of testing to parents, teachers, and pupils. For instance, Fisher and Smith (1991) have described with some humor their adventures and misadventures in computer generated reporting; whereas Impara, Divine, Bruce, Liverman, and Gay (1991) have reported how the quality of teachers' test score interpretations can be enhanced by informative materials accompanying test reports such as the information readily generated by computers. Still other researchers have reported that recent pressures on raising test scores may lead to questionable, if not unethical, means of raising test scores through means other than instruction (Nolen, Haladyna, & Haas, 1992). …" @default.
