Age of Efficiency and Testing (jan 1, 1900 – jan 1, 1930)
Description:
- Fredrick W. Taylor’s work on scientific management became influential to
administrators in education (Biddle & Ellena, 1964). Taylor’s scientific management
was based on observation, measurement, analysis, and most importantly, efficiency
(Russell & Taylor, 1998). Objective-based tests were critical in determining quality of
instruction.
