Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how the quality of teaching can be assessed. The author argues that traditional methods are unreliable and often biased toward popularity. Instead, the author advocates for using objective standards that measure specific skills and abilities. The author provides an overview of the historical development of objective standards, starting with Dr. J.B. Rice in 1891 and moving through the work of Edward L. Thorndike, Leonard P. Ayres, Daniel Starch, W.S. Courtis, M.B. Hillegas, Frank W. Ballou, S.A. Courtis, and the author himself. The book includes a detailed examination of the strengths and weaknesses of various objective standards, including the Thorndike Handwriting Scale, the Ayres Handwriting Scale, Starch's Lettera-Exposure Handwriting Test, the Courtis Standard Tests, the Hillegas Scale for the Measurement of Quality in English Composition, the Harvard-Newton Scales, the Courtis Test in English, the Thorndike Scale for Measuring Achievement in Drawing, the Thorndike Reading Scale A: Visual Vocabulary, the Kansas Silent Reading Test, the Gray Reading Tests, and the Ayres Spelling Scale. The book concludes with a discussion of the composition method of testing spelling abilities and the need for Illinois standards for various abilities that can now be measured objectively.
