A ny study such as this is possible only as the result of the cooperation of scores of persons. It is hoped that each one whose time and labor have entered into the data here presented has served ungrudgingly in the interest of our profession. In appropriate places in the text I have expressed my thanks to those who have contributed most generously to the separate phases of the study. My appreciation of the work of all others who have helped is keenly felt. I must forego the mention of other names, however, except Professors Strayer, Thorndike, and Hillegas, whose counsel and assistance have been so freely given throughout the year. F. J. K.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful book delves into the critical issue of teacher bias in marking, a problem prevalent across educational institutions. The author presents an extensive analysis of various studies conducted over the past century, meticulously examining the startling discrepancies in grading practices among different teachers. The author highlights a fundamental issue: the absence of standardized grading criteria. This variability leads to significant inconsistencies, with students receiving vastly different marks for work of equal quality. The book goes beyond exposing the problem, delving into its root causes and exploring potential solutions. It proposes practical ideas for establishing grading benchmarks to minimize the impact of individual biases. One of the book's strengths is its comprehensive historical perspective. The author traces the evolution of grading practices from the early 20th century to the present day, providing a nuanced understanding of how societal changes have influenced the way teachers assess student performance. The book's exploration of standardization's role is particularly valuable. It examines the benefits and challenges of implementing standardized tests and scales as tools for reducing grading subjectivity. The author presents a balanced view, acknowledging the advantages of standardization while also recognizing the importance of preserving teacher discretion. In conclusion, this book offers a thorough examination of teacher bias in marking, providing a wealth of evidence to support the urgent need for standardized grading practices. It is a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to improve the fairness and accuracy of student assessments.
