The author discusses conditions under which Measurement Driven Instruction might and might not produce its expected results. He considers how test stakes, Performance standards, and the nature of content assessment interrelate to influence the operation of MDI programs. In discussing instructional expectations and realities as they apply to MDI, he argues that under some conditions instruction driven by measurement measurement corrupt the measurement process.
