The Influence of Different Styles of Textbook Use on Instructional Validity of Standardized Tests.

Freeman, Donald J.; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v20 n3 p259-70 Fall 1983

Across all standardized tests, instructional validity of the five styles of textbook use was far lower for the management-by-objectives model than for any other styles. (Author/PN)
