This week I learned a lot about how to create my own standardized test. I learned about the steps to creating a standards-based test and realized that it will take time to come up with a valid test, but with standards provided, creating a test should be easy. I also learned more about the advantages and disadvantages of standardized test. The quote and picture above gave me some difficulties at first relating it to the chapter, I was going to choose another one but I really liked this one. If you have another way to relate this quote to standards-based tests I would appreciate your help. After some deep thought, I finally found words that relate this quote to tests. Basically the quote above can mean many things, such as money is not needed but it needs to be counted everyday. In relation to the chapter, the quote above can mean that tests can have so many questions but no relevance as to a test with relevance and shorter questions.
I think that your picture can relate to my quote. Everything on a standardized test can be counted but does some of the information really count. And you cannot count various personal traits of people but they obviously count.

ReplyDeleteI believe this quote means that it really is impossible to measure everything just by testing. Maybe Mr. Einstein is saying that when we measure something or someone, we may not be measuring what's really important.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marvin, you really helped me understand this quote. I think I was over thinking it. And I believe you are definitely on point when you say that it is impossible to measure everything about a person through a test.
