Choosing students

by Wayne J. Camara, Ernest W. Kimmel

"This volume brings together a varied array of experts from psychology, sociology, psychometrics, and educational policy to share their insights, research, and recommendations regarding these and other college admission issues. Whereas other books describe and critique current admissions tests and procedures, this one explores alternative approaches and innovative assessment instruments that can be demonstrated to be validly related to the outcomes of higher education.". "This book is intended for those leaders and professionals who set admission policies and practices in American colleges, graduate and professional schools as well as for those scholars and scientists who research, develop, and validate tools for choosing students in ways that are congruent with an institution's mission, values and goals."--BOOK JACKET.
