In Search of the Ethical Test.
Lynch, Brian K.
Language Testing, v14 n3 p315-27 Nov 1997
Addresses the question of whether any test can be defended as ethical or moral. Defines ethicality in terms of issues such as harm, consent, confidentiality of data, and fairness and presents frameworks for determining equity of educational opportunity. An assessment project in Australia is examined in relation to these concerns. (24 references) (Author/CK)
