Evaluation Center, Western Michigan University, Ml, USA Educational
evaluation encompasses a wide array of activities, including
student assessment, measurement, testing, program evaluation,
school personnel evalua tion, school accreditation, and curriculum
evaluation. It occurs at all levels of education systems, from the
individual student evaluations carried out by class room teachers,
to evaluations of schools and districts, to district-wide program
evaluations, to national assessments, to cross-national comparisons
of student achievement. As in any area of scholarship and practice,
the field is constantly evolving, as a result of advances in
theory, methodology, and technology; increasing globalization;
emerging needs and pressures; and cross-fertilization from other
disciplines. The beginning of a new century would seem an
appropriate time to provide a portrait of the current state of the
theory and practice of educational evaluation across the globe. It
is the purpose of this handbook to attempt to do this, to sketch
the international landscape of educational evaluation - its
conceptual izations, practice, methodology, and background, and the
functions it serves. The book's 43 chapters, grouped in 10
sections, provide detailed accounts of major components of the
educational evaluation enterprise. Together, they provide a
panoramic view of an evolving field.
