by Larry Cuban David TyackTyack and Cuban argue that the ahistorical nature of most current reform proposals magnifies defects and understates the difficulty of changing the system. Policy talk has alternated between lamentation and overconfidence. The authors suggest that reformers today need to focus on ways to help teachers improve instruction from the inside out instead of decreeing change by remote control, and that reformers must also keep in mind the democratic purposes that guide public education.

Tipers: Sensemaking Tasks For Introductory Physics (Pearson Series In Educational Innovation: Student Resources For Physics Ser.)
by David Maloney C. Hieggelke Steve Kanim Thomas O'KumaTIPERs: Sensemaking Tasks for Introductory Physics gives introductory physics students the type of practice they need to promote a conceptual understanding of problem solving. This supplementary text helps students to connect the physical rules of the universe with the mathematical tools used to express them. The exercises in this workbook are intended to promote sensemaking. The various formats of the questions are difficult to solve just by using physics equations as formulas. Students will need to develop a solid qualitative understanding of the concepts, principles, and relationships in physics. In addition, they will have to decide what is relevant and what isn’t, which equations apply and which don’t, and what the equations tell one about physical situations. The goal is that when students are given a physics problem where they are asked solve for an unknown quantity, they will understand the physics of the problem in addition to finding the answer.

The book encourages faculty to understand the potential benefits they can reap from appropriate and careful testing and grading practices, and the role of testing in promoting quality teaching. . . . it is very helpful and well structured for those faculty who rely on traditional forms of assessment. This book will help such faculty improve their test development and assessment skills as well as encourage them to reflect on their own testing and grading practices." --Patricia H. Wheeler in Evaluation Practice "This [book] provides a thorough discussion of general testing and grading issues. . . . The topics one would expect to be covered are all addressed in a thorough and step-by-step manner. I particularly like the activities accompanying each chapter. They are brief, doable, and inviting. . . . It would be particularly helpful for new faculty, but experienced faculty might also benefit from the discussion of how to evaluate past exams and the pros and cons of various grading policies." --Shirley Ronkowski, Office of Instructional Consultation, University of California, Santa Barbara Do you enjoy teaching students about your field, but loathe the testing and grading process? Do you find yourself using the same kinds of tests that you had as a student?

Through the use of detailed examples, check lists, exercises, and lucid explanations, this book will help you determine what content to include on an exam, assess difficulty level of items, write different kinds of test items (multiple-choice, matching, true-false, essay, and short answer), prepare a professional-looking exam, deal with cheating, score different test items, determine if various content areas were adequately taught, help students review for an exam, select a grading method, and develop your own grading strategy. If you want your exams and grades to be an accurate reflection of the material your students have mastered, then this book is the resource for you.
