In this report of a two-year study, researchers describe just how far the US has come toward technological literacy and offer a number of recommendations for school children (as in the No Child Left Behind Act) and for adults in the workplace. They define technological literacy and methods to assess it, show how assessment is such a design challenge, give an assessment primer, review the instruments, give five sample cases (a state-wide grade assessment, a matrix-sample assessment of seventh graders, a national sample assessment of teachers, assessments for broad populations and of those visiting museums and other informal learning institutions), computer-based assessment methods, and findings and recommendations. They include a well-chosen bibliography. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Technology is pervasive; an informed citizenship needs to know what technology is, how it works, how it is created, how it shapes our society, and how society influences technological development. This understanding depends in large part on an individual level of technological literacy. Tech Tally: Approaches to Assessing Technological Literacy determines the most viable approaches to assessing technological literacy for students, teachers, and out-of-school adults. The book examines opportunities and obstacles to developing scientifically valid and broadly applicable assessment instruments for technological literacy in the three target populations. The book offers findings and 12 related recommendations that address five critical areas: instrument development; research on learning; computer-based assessment methods, framework development, and public perceptions of technology.
