Assessment and evaluation are crucial aspects of any educational
system and rarely can they have been so central to educational
policy-making and the reform of schooling as at the present time.
(The introduction of the National Curriculum and Testing system in
the UK and the test-based 'No Child Left Behind' legislation in the
USA are but two high-profile examples.) Assessment processes
interact with curriculum and teaching methods to frame the student
experience of education, and the outcomes of assessment are
crucially important in determining individual educational
progression and socio-economic futures. Equally, assessment is used
by policy-makers to focus instruction on core elements of
educational provision, and the aggregate outcomes of assessment are
employed to measure the quality and effectiveness of an educational
system. Good quality assessment is vital to individual student
life-chances and to issues of parental choice, school reputation,
government policy evaluation, and long-term economic development.
Poor quality assessment can disrupt all of these elements of an
effective school system by, for example, narrowing what is taught
and learned to only the limited range of skills and abilities
examined through paper-and-pencil tests. As serious thinking about
and around assessment and evaluation continues to flourish and
develop, this new title in Routledge's Major Themes in Education
series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make
sense of the subject's vast literature and the continuing explosion
in research output. Edited by Harry Torrance, a leading scholar in
the field, this Routledge Major Work is a four-volume collection of
foundational and cutting-edge contributions. With comprehensive
introductions to each volume, newly written by the editor, which
place the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context, Educational Assessment and Evaluation is an essential work
of reference. It is destined to be valued by specialists in
assessment and evaluation and scholars working in related areas-as
well as by educational policy-makers and professionals-as a vital
one-stop research tool.
