Rediscovering educational purpose in educational evaluation

Kushner, Saville

Abstract

This paper argues that evaluation methodology should reflect the character of the field it is proposing to look at. People have the right to be evaluated in their own terms, and evaluation methodologies which are judged for their rigour against abstract canons of validity violate that principle. Two examples are given.
