Large-scale assessments (LSAs) play a growing role in education
policy decisions, accountability, and education planning worldwide.
This book focuses on central issues that are key components of
successful planning, development and implementation of LSAs. The
book s main distinction is its focus on practice- based,
cutting-edge research. This is achieved by having chapters
co-authored by world-class researchers in collaboration with
measurement practitioners. The result is a how-to book whose
language is accessible to practitioners and graduate students as
well as academics.
No other book so thoroughly covers current issues in the field
of large-scale assessment. An introductory chapter is followed by
sixteen chapters that each focus on a specific issue. The content
is prescriptive and didactic in nature but based on the most recent
scientific research. It includes successful experiences, exemplary
practices, training modules, interesting breakthroughs or
alternatives, and promising innovations regarding large-scale
assessments. Finally, it covers meaningful topics that are
currently taking center stage such as motivating students,
background questionnaires, comparability of different linguistic
versions of assessments, and cognitive modeling of learning and
assessment.
