Well, Here goes I have taught Ed PSY for 5 or 6 years and I’ve come to the same conclusion about “evaluation” and “assessment.” The clincher for me is the way our Ed PSY authors skirt around the issues. Years ago I took a MA in Occupational Education. It was about the time that Michigan was dev

Read the copyright transfer agreement you signed. Last I looked, APA would allow authors to post articles published in their journal on their own personal or "institutional" websites, but not on "third-party" websites (a distinction that Stevan Harnad has cogently argued is incoherent and unenf

Jeff, For each manuscript you wish to post, you should read the copyright transfer form that you signed when the manuscript was accepted for publication. It usually specifies the kind of royalty-free permissions the publisher grants the author in return for the copyright. As far as I recall, APA

I concur with Rip that student comments are often more valuable than awards. Some of mine are similar to those of his and Jeff's. Typically, they state that "his tests are too hard, but he cares/doesn't care/the class is easy if you read the text/knows his stuff/is fun/he is boring/we wish he wer

As I understand it, you surrendered all copyright rights to APA when you allowed them to publish the article. Since they hold the copyright, you now have to ask permission to post it to your Web site (or distribute it in any other way). It is being done so often that I suspect that APA does have

Hi all, What are the rules for placing on-line one's own (co-authored) articles published in APA journals? I know that I've seen people do this on their own on-line web sites, and I think I've heard the rules before, but I can't seem to find them after a very brief search. I was hoping I

"Authentic assessment" appears to be similar to what an I/O psychologist would call "job sampling." If you are selecting new typists from a pool of job applicants, it makes sense to include a sample of the job (a typing task) in the assessment process. With regard to educational settings, if

I admit to only a brief reading of the pages but it seems to me that the term authentic assessment refers to a more ecologically valid assessment. Certainly a more effort-intensive assessment of what might otherwise be considered less 'standardized' assessment. Would that be a correct way to cha
