A volume in the Chinese American Educational Research and
Development Association Book Series Series Editor Jinfa Cai,
University of Delaware Over the past thirty years, student
assessment has become an increasingly important component of public
education. A variety of methodologies in testing have been
developed to obtain and interpret the wealth of assessment
outcomes. As assessment goals are getting increasingly
multifaceted, new testing methodologies are called for to provide
more accessible and reliable information on more complex constructs
or processes, such as students' criticalthinking and
problem-solving skills. Testing methodologies are needed to extract
information from assessments on such complicated skills, in order
to advise teachers about certain areas of students that need
intervention. It is even a bigger challenge, and a vital mission of
today's large-scale assessments, to gain such information from
testing data in an efficient manner. For example PARCC and Smarter
Balanced Assessments consortia are both striving to offer formative
assessments through individualized, tailored testing. The book
provides state-of-the-art coverage on new methodologies to support
tradit ional summative assessment, and more importantly, for
emerging formative assessments.
