It should be noted that after the first two paragraphs this article presents a point of view different then that of the typical expert in the field. NealKingston 23:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

After reading this article i don't believe it shows a neutral point of view about SBA (Standards-Based Assessment), It sounds morel ike a speech somebody is giving. Jh60082 (talk) 16:22, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The author also makes annoyingly frequent use of the word "all".77.49.147.190 (talk) 07:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The page seems overwhelmingly biased, and doesn't include anything on criticism. For a top importance article, it is doing horribly. It feels more like a persuasian piece instead of an enclycapedia entry. --Caez (any pronouns c:) (talk) 15:50, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

I came to this article because I am writing an essay on standards-based assessment as part of my study towards a Masters degree. I was disappointed to find that it held a strong bias towards standards-based assessment and made no effort to outline some of the criticisms of the method (and there are many, many criticisms).

Equally annoying was the fact that the article assumes that all readers are citizens of the United States of America, a country which does not, by any means, hold a monopoly on the use of standards-based assessment. How about the UK? New Zealand? Most countries in western Europe?

A disappointment... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.240.61.2 (talk) 04:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple Choice[edit]

I am an education researcher and to read this article one would think that standards based tests are non multiple choice tests. Standards based testing has nothing to do with the question format of the test and indeed, virtually all (probably all) of the state standards tests administered in the US are almost entirely multiple choice with a few free response (non multiple choice) questions. But this combination of question types has nothing to do with standards based testing. It has been popular for all tests because it allows most of the test to be machine graded and at the same time provides validation of those results with a sample of non multiple choice questions. In any event, test format (multiple choice vs free response) is independent of standards based testing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.149.134 (talk) 11:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
