Weight and the PISA
Dr. Kevin Connelly
While this article is about the testing situation in Australia and the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) I found myself reading to the end feeling like there was hope in this article. And sure enough this was the last paragraph in the piece:
The focus on improved productivity and international competiveness by raising test scores should not ignore the reality that education in its fullest sense deals with emotional, spiritual and moral issues that define us as humans and determine the nature of the society in which we live.
The article, A Test for Educational Assessment, Dec. 8, 2010, was written by Dr. Kevin Donnelly who is the director of the Education Standards Institute and author of Australia’s Education Revolution. You can read the article by clicking here and please make a comment below.
