This reference resource provides a comprehensive listing of tests, keyed to behavioral and educational objectives of elementary school education. Each test, or when appropriate, a subtest of a test, was evaluated by educators and measurement specialists. Four main criteria were selected for evaluating the tests: measurement validity, examinee appropriateness, administrative usability, and normed technical excellence; these four main criteria are sub-divided into 24 aspects. Approximately 1600 scales and subscales of the listed tests are given a numerical rating for each of the 24 aspects (based on given standards) and are then graded as good, fair, or poor for each of the main criteria. Each grade level section details 145 goals of elementary school education and lists the published instruments readily available to assess achievement of each goal at the level. Categories covered by the tests include affective and personality characteristics, arts and crafts, career education, cognitive and intellectual skills, foreign language, language arts, mathematics, music, perceptual and motor skills, physical and health education, reading, religion and ethics, science, and social studies. Test objectives, relevant test titles, and the test evaluations appear in one table for each grade. Indexes of goals and tests are included. Also appended are a list of goal references and a directory of test publishers and distributors. (MV)
