[quote=Anonymous]Because of its shortcomings, the practice of teaching to the test is unethical. A 1989 study on teaching to the test evaluated the ethical "continuum" of the practice, and identified seven practice points, ranging from most to least ethical: 1. General instruction on local objectives 2. Instruction on general test-taking skills 3. Instruction on objectives generally measured by standardized tests 4. Instruction on objectives specific to the test used 5. Instruction on objectives specific to the test used and using the same format 6. Instruction using a released test or a "clone" test that replicates the format and content of the test used 7. Instruction using the test to be used, either before or during test administration The study concluded that the ethical boundary fell between points three and five, with points one and two being ethical and points six and seven being unethical.[/quote]
