Rear, D. (2019). One size fits all? The limitations of standardised assessment in critical thinking. Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 44(5), 664-675.
    The research article authored by Rear (2019) aims to explore the assessment of critical thinking. Through the article, the author points out that critical thinking assessment is conducted with the help of well-wrought standardised testing. However, Rear (2019) is of the opinion that standardised testing is not the correct and the ideal method for the purpose of testing critical thinking. He attributes this to a number of causes. At the very outset, he points out that these tests fail to comprehend the concept of critical thinking in its entirety. There are also certain discrepancies regarding reliability and validity of the tests. Additionally, standardised testing is considered limited for the purpose of assessing critical thinking as it is unable to evaluate the skills that are exercised in real life academic tasks.
Rogers, S. L., Barblett, L., & Robinson, K. (2018). Parent and teacher perceptions of NAPLAN in a sample of Independent schools in Western Australia. The Australian Educational Researcher, 45(4), 493-513.
The research article authored by Rogers, Barblett and Robinson (2018) aims to explore the perception towards the National Assessment Program, which is Australia’s national standardised testing initiative. Although the test aims to maintain transparency and accountability in the education system in Australia, there are certain arguments which are against the values mentioned by NAPLAN. The teachers and parents have different perceptions regarding standardised testing in this particular scenario. They have pointed towards the consequences of standardised testing, which are narrowing of the curriculum, negative impact on the wellbeing of the stakeholders, as well as general negative attitudes towards the idea of standardised testing. This particular essay will help in gaining of a comprehensive knowledge of the notion of standardised testing.

According to Kelly (2018), the basic aim of standardised testing in schools intends to evaluate both in summative and comparative terms.
