Excerpt
My purpose in writing this editorial is to problematize the use of standardized assessment for accountability purposes so that new questions for science teacher education research may come to light and guide our efforts. To make this argument, I will rely mainly on the work of Hannah Arendt, a leading political theorist of the twentieth century. I use her work as a basis for my own thought about accountability assessment, not because it is the only way to think about the problem; instead, I use it because it provides a new perspective that I think can add meaningfully to the debate over future directions for research into science teacher education and professional development. …What I propose, is very simple, it is nothing more than to think what we are doing. (Arendt 1958, p. 5)
