Abstract:
|
W. Edwards Deming often wrote about improving the quality of education, saying that there should be a system of education "in which teachers take joy in their work, free from fear in ranking." We revisit Deming's 14 points and philosophy of a "system of profound knowledge" in the context of value-added models, emphasizing measurement issues, designed experiments and randomization, and sources of variation. We then discuss the role of statisticians in educational reform.
