- W236874663 abstract "Jerrold R. Coombs The University of British Columbia The many minimum competency testing (MCT) programs that have appeared in the past few years share two essential features. Each involves the use of a test, usually a standardized test, which is purportedly a measure of the minimum competencies or basic skills any person must possess if he is to be successful in life. In some cases the tests are called functional literacy tests, implying that they measure competencies deemed necessary for adequate functioning in one's society. Some proponents of MCT go so far as to claim they are testing for competencies that are necessary for survival in our society. The second essential feature of MCT programs is that they involve the application of sanctions to those who fail the test. Usually this takes the form of denying promotion to those in junior grades. Both testing for basic skills and denying graduation diplomas to students who fail to meet certain standards of performance are established practices in public education. What is new in MCT programs is the way in which these two elements are combined, and the fact that the power of the state is used to enforce them." @default.
