Assessing Domains
Assessing Domains
Sources:
In a discussion on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Jordan Peterson and Victor Davis Hanson explored the concept of assessing domains of knowledge through standardized testing. They propose creating a system where thousands of multiple-choice questions on subjects like American history could be assembled and analyzed for their predictive accuracy regarding general knowledge domains. Such a system could produce randomized tests to assess individual knowledge without the possibility of cheating, potentially transforming academic accreditation by making the process transparent and immune to administrative interference. They also discuss the idea of reintroducing SATs as exit exams to evaluate the instruction quality at universities, suggesting that this could effectively address disparities in educational standards across institutions.1
