Level of Teacher Objectives and Their Classroom Tests: Match or Mismatch.

Ball, Donald W.; And Others

Journal of Social Studies Research, v10 n2 p27-31 Fall 1986

Reports the results of a study of the match between teacher-made tests and level of instructional objectives for 74 secondary social studies teachers. Concludes that: (1) only a slight majority of teachers think higher order objectives are important, and (2) that few translate this opinion into their instruction or testing. (JDH)
