Test Blueprints, Test Objectives, and Learning Objectives? What is the difference

In the field of measurement and assessments educational psychologist use very similar terms to mean very different things. Test blueprints, test objectives, and learning objectives often get new teachers or graduate students mixed up. Yet the terms mean different things for three critical documents in the learning process First all three begin with a standar

Some History on the Critical in "Critical Race Theory"

To everyone who criticizes Critical Race Theory as "marxist" let's explore some history. Not so much on Marxism, go read up on Friedrich Engels on your own time (Marx a crappy writer IMO, Engles easier to get through) First if you use any systems thinking that includes the individual, an agent, or a subject you have Soviet psychologist Aleksei N. Leontiev to

Writing Up Regression

Social support significantly predicted depression scores, b = –.34, t(225) = 6.53, p < .001. Social support also explained a significant proportion of variance in depression scores, R2 = .12, F(1, 225) = 42.64, p < .001. This is from the APA. I don't usually care about if it predicted.

The Capitol Riots and Martin Luther King's Question of "Where Do We Go from Here?"

I have seen many people ask today, "What would Dr. Martin Luther King Jr say about the seditious attacks we witnessed on the Nation's Capitol?" Dr. King would begin with prayer and end with a call to action. In fact he already did, for in his speech in 1967 at the 11th Annual Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Dr King already asked, "Where do we go fr
