Download or read book Fairness Issues in Educational Assessment written by Hossein Karami and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairness and ethicality have been at the center of the debates on the appropriate use of educational tests since the 1960s. Particularly in high-stakes contexts, it is clear that fairness should be a major concern to both the test developers, and to those being tested, given that the fairness of a test is so intertwined with its validity. Fairness Issues in Educational Assessment aims to shed more light on the issue and bring to sight some of the ways in which test fairness can be addressed. The contributions, written by some of the most prominent figures in educational assessment, address both theoretical and practical aspects of test fairness. The wealth of ideas presented here will be valuable to novice researchers and help them appreciate both the joy and complexity of conducting fair educational measurement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Research and Evaluation.

Download or read book The Moderating Effects of Race and Gender on Perceptions of Organizational Fairness, Job Stress, and Job Satisfaction written by Andrea LaShana Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual differences in exchange ideology, gender, and power distance orientation have all been found to influence the importance an individual places on the fairness of procedures (Sweeny & McFarlin, 1997, Witt & Broach, 1993, Mesch & Dalton, 1988; Dalton & Todor, 1985, Lee, Pilluta, and Law 2000). Moreover, research conducted by Dalton and Todor (1985) suggests that there are distinct differences in organizational justice outcomes associated with the sex of the involved employee. Specifically, their research (Dalton and Todor, 1985) suggests that female grievants are more than half as likely to prevail in grievance proceedings. Despite the research that has been conducted investigating gender and its relationship to fairness perceptions, the relationship between race and fairness has been ignored. Given that in American culture, people of different races are socialized differently, it therefore follows that racial differences in perceptions of fairness are likely. This research attempts to investigate and expand upon the aforementioned relationships, specifically to determine if individuals of different races (i.e., minorities versus non-minorities) and genders (men versus women) perceive organizational fairness, job stress, and job satisfaction differently. I will additionally examine fairness perceptions and their relationship to job stress and job satisfaction, as these are outcomes which have a significant impact both on the employee and employer.

Download or read book AN EVALUATION OF TEST-TAKING PERFORMANCE IN A SELECTION CONTEXT THROUGH MOTIVATIONAL MECHANISMS AND JOB RELATEDNESS PERCEPTIONS written by Shelby Wise and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applicant reactions researchers have posited that perceptions of test fairness may have a direct affect on applicant motivation and test performance thus diminishing test validity as was proposed in the Justice Theory Framework Perspective. The Justice Theory Framework Perspective describes how situational characteristics inform perceptions of ten procedural justice rules which, in turn, contribute to fairness perceptions and more distally reactions during hiring, reactions after hiring, and applicant self-perceptions. Despite the commentary pertaining to this potential model, at this time, few researchers have empirically tested the aforementioned proposition regarding applicant reactions and test validity. To address this gap, this study nvestigated the relationship between the perceived job-relatedness of selection assessments and test performance through changes in test-taking self-efficacy and test motivation. Additionally, this model was tested while controlling for individual differences related to achievement (i.e. Conscientiousness and generalized self-efficacy). Results of this study indicate that perceptions of job-relatedness vary by selection test used (i.e. personality test, cognitive ability test, and situational judgment test) and that job-relatedness is significantly related to perceptions of overall process fairness. The model evaluated was also supported wherein job-relatedness predicted test performance through changes in self-efficacy and more distally test motivation. The findings suggest that the applicant reactions-performance relationship may be important in terms of testing proficiency and selection outcomes. Implications of these findings and recommendations for future research are further described.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice is everyone's concern. It plays a critical role in organizational success and promotes the quality of employees' working lives. For these reasons, understanding the nature of justice has become a prominent goal among scholars of organizational behavior. As research in organizational justice has proliferated, a need has emerged for scholars to integrate literature across disciplines. Offering the most thorough discussion of organizational justice currently available, The Oxford Handbook of Justice in the Workplace provides a comprehensive review of empirical and conceptual research addressing this vital topic. Reflecting this dynamic and expanding area of research, chapters provide cutting-edge reviews of selection, performance management, conflict resolution, diversity management, organizational climate, and other topics integral for promoting organizational success. Additionally, the book explores major conceptual issues such as interpersonal interaction, emotion, the structure of justice, the motivation for fairness, and cross-cultural considerations in fairness perceptions. The reader will find thorough discussions of legal issues, philosophical concerns, and human decision-making, all of which make this the standard reference book for both established scholars and emerging researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic work of feminist political thought, Iris Marion Young challenges the prevailing reduction of social justice to distributive justice. It critically analyzes basic concepts underlying most theories of justice, including impartiality, formal equality, and the unitary moral subjectivity. The starting point for her critique is the experience and concerns of the new social movements about decision making, cultural expression, and division of labor--that were created by marginal and excluded groups, including women, African Americans, and American Indians, as well as gays and lesbians. Iris Young defines concepts of domination and oppression to cover issues eluding the distributive model. Democratic theorists, according to Young do not adequately address the problem of an inclusive participatory framework. By assuming a homogeneous public, they fail to consider institutional arrangements for including people not culturally identified with white European male norms of reason and respectability. Young urges that normative theory and public policy should undermine group-based oppression by affirming rather than suppressing social group difference. Basing her vision of the good society on the differentiated, culturally plural network of contemporary urban life, she argues for a principle of group representation in democratic publics and for group-differentiated policies. Danielle Allen's new foreword contextualizes Young's work and explains how debates surrounding social justice have changed since--and been transformed by--the original publication of Justice and the Politics of Difference.

Download or read book Gender and Fair Assessment written by Warren W. Willingham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many important changes in the participation of women and men in American society over the past quarter-century. Tests play a role in those changes by providing evidence of the diverse achievement and proficiency of women and men. They aid the learning process and reflect inequalities in opportunity to learn and participate. In addition, they provide useful information in considering what alternatives in education and work make most sense for individuals and influence views about groups of students, educational programs, and a wide range of issues. For all of these reasons, it is important that tests assess fairly and reflect accurately the ways young people are and are not achieving as well as desired. The test performance of women and men is a research topic of historical interest and has received much attention in recent years. Because of this increased interest, there is a great deal of new research and data available. The purpose of the study presented in this volume was to review this new information with two objectives in mind: *to clarify patterns of gender difference and similarity in test performance and related achievements, and *to see what implications those findings might have for fair assessment and, as a corollary, examine the assessment process as a possible source of gender differences. This study is interested in tests used in education to assess developed knowledge and skill. In order to gain a broader view of gender similarity and difference, the contributors looked at other types of measures and other characteristics of young women and men. Their hope is to contribute to a firmer basis for insuring fairness in tests--an objective which is particularly important as the field moves increasingly to new forms of assessment in which there is less experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for this volume came from the editors' belief that most current research and thinking about personnel selection and assessment in organizations considered only the perspective of the employer. The job applicant seeking to join the organization or the employee being considered for promotion or reassignment was typically given little attention from the designers of employment or assessment systems. They believed that this imbalance had several negative implications: 1. Organizational selection and assessment appeared to be the principal area within work and organizational psychology that had forgotten a basic tenet of the profession of psychology, namely, that the welfare of the individual is paramount. 2. A lack of concern for the individuals who were being assessed could result in additional criticisms of psychological assessment in employment settings. 3. The acceptability of selection and assessment devices and systems may impact in (largely) unknown ways on the decisions of individuals to apply for jobs or transfers, thus affecting the selection ratio and potential utility of such systems. 4. Individual reactions to the characteristics of assessment and selection devices could affect the accuracy of the information obtained about those individuals, adversely affecting the reliability and validity of resulting personnel decisions. Informally discussing these concerns with their professional colleagues, the editors found that others were similarly troubled. Their next response was to organize a three day conference bringing together a number of researchers in applied psychology to present papers and participate in discussions related to balancing individual and organizational needs in selection and assessment. Revisions of the papers presented at this conference form the core of this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the Handbook of Employee Selection has been revised and updated throughout to reflect current thinking on the state of science and practice in employee selection. In this volume, a diverse group of recognized scholars inside and outside the United States balance theory, research, and practice, often taking a global perspective. Divided into eight parts, chapters cover issues associated with measurement, such as validity and reliability, as well as practical concerns around the development of appropriate selection procedures and implementation of selection programs. Several chapters discuss the measurement of various constructs commonly used as predictors, and other chapters confront criterion measures that are used in test validation. Additional sections include chapters that focus on ethical and legal concerns and testing for certain types of jobs (e.g., blue collar jobs). The second edition features a new section on technology and employee selection. The Handbook of Employee Selection, Second Edition provides an indispensable reference for scholars, researchers, graduate students, and professionals in industrial and organizational psychology, human resource management, and related fields.
