The SAGE Encyclopedia of Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation

by Bruce B. Frey (Editor)

Overview

In an era of curricular changes, experiments, and high-stakes testing, educational measurement and evaluation are more important than ever. In addition to expected entries covering the basics of traditional theories and methods, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation also covers important sociopolitical issues and trends influencing the future of that research and practice. Textbooks, handbooks, monographs, and other publications focus on various aspects of educational research, measurement, and evaluation, but to date, there exists no major reference guide for students new to the field. This comprehensive work fills that gap, covering traditional areas while pointing the way to future developments.

Key Features:

• Nearly 700 signed entries are contained in an authoritative work spanning four volumes and available in electronic and/or print formats.
• Although organized A-to-Z, front matter includes a Reader’s Guide grouping entries thematically to help students interested in a specific aspect of education research, measurement, and evaluation to more easily locate directly related entries.
• Back matter includes a Chronology of the development of the field; a Resource Guide to classic books, journals, and associations; and a detailed Index.
• Entries conclude with Further Readings and cross-references to related entries.
• The Index, Reader’s Guide themes, and cross-references combine to provide a robust search-and-browse in the electronic version.

Editorial Reviews

"I would definitely recommend this reference book for research colleges, universities, and organizations because I believe that students, instructors, and researchers can greatly benefit from this reference guide."

While other educational research publications concentrate on how to conduct, assess, measure, and evaluate research projects, this well-written, alphabetically arranged title, from editor Frey (educational psychology, Univ. of Kansas, Sch. of Education; There's a Stat for That! Modern Classroom Assessment) takes a broader, encyclopedic approach to the topic. More than 700 entries tackle everything from types of learners to testing methods to research issues, plus current print and nonprint bibliographies. Contributors are mostly academics, though some work in the private sector. The reader's guide supports broad topic access, and "see also" references appear within the body and index. The ebook edition offers a database interface, search box, and the print edition's (not seen) table of contents and index, complete with volume and page numbers. The online interface can be set to show print edition page numbers within the text and allows users to download articles; however, the article PDFs do not show the print pagination. While the online edition is easy to use, it's best for specific searches. Browsers will get the most out of the print edition. VERDICT A nice supplement to Macmillan Reference's Encyclopedia of Education that will be of interest to those engaged in soft research involving education, as well as to graduate and undergraduate psychology and sociology students.—Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty.
