| Abstract: | This study examines the emotional responses of three individuals to timed mathematics tests. We examine the emotional responses of two adult women who look back to timed skills-tests in elementary school and the emotional response of a grade-three girl currently taking timed skills-tests. To interpret the individual reactions, we use a non-Newtonian view of time and draw on Mandler's insights into the nature of emotional responses. We examine the implications of these emotional responses for equitable assessment practices.This revised version was published online in September 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
