Abstract
This study was an attempt to better measure teacher's perceptions of ethical assessment behavior. A new instrument, the Educators' Perceptions of Ethical Assessment Practice (EPEAP) was developed. The EPEAP is a combination of 30 ethical and unethical assessment scenarios. Standards set by the Joint Committee for Ethical Evaluation Standards [1] were used as the basis for denoting correct or incorrect participant answers. Participants were 133 in-service and pre-service teachers selected from an education program at an urban midwestern university. Chi-square analyses showed that on 10 items, statistically significant differences were found between pre-service and in-service teachers. Results show a need to further investigate ethical assessment in order to facilitate new ways to create educators better versed in ethical assessment practices.
