Creative problem solving, collaboration, and technology fluency are
core skills requisite of any nation's workforce that strives to be
competitive in the 21st Century. Teaching these types of skills is
an economic imperative, and assessment is a fundamental component
of any pedagogical program. Yet, measurement of these skills is
complex due to the interacting factors associated with higher order
thinking and multifaceted communication. Advances in assessment
theory, educational psychology, and technology create an
opportunity to innovate new methods of measuring students' 21st
Century Skills with validity, reliability, and scalability. In this
book, leading scholars from multiple disciplines present their
latest research on how to best measure complex knowledge, skills,
and abilities using technology-based assessments. All authors
discuss theoretical and practical implications from their research
and outline their visions for the future of technology-based
assessments.
This book is an invitation to researchers who are committed to
social change to look for ideas about transformation in an
unexpected place - that is, in the data generated from empirical
research. Informed by Critical Discourse Analysis and postmodern
theory, it proposes a method of locating, through close grammatical
analysis of everyday descriptions of the social world, the desire
for alternative transformative structures. Drawing upon insightful
analysis of conversational data collected over a period of 12 years
from both 'marginalised' and 'mainstream' participants, it reveals
innovative ways of imagining social structure. Clark proposes a
view of the social world as in an embodied relationship with
embodied selves.
