Abstract	Assessment continues to take center stage in contemporary education, not merely for the data themselves, but for what they can tell us about students and their instructors - and even more important, about educational domains that need upgrading. Success in the technology-driven modern world increasingly depends on new competencies (many of which have yet to be fully identified), requiring new methods for their accurate measurement. [The book] asks readers to rethink the way assessment is conducted and competencies are defined, placing the process in the context of lifelong learning across subject domains. This forward-looking dialogue between contributors in education research, practice, and policy examines a range of specific assessment issues, technologies to address these needs, and larger policy concerns. Chapters focus on the most pressing goals and challenges facing the field today, including: - Using assessment to strengthen learning. - Recognizing the "natural" role of assessment in everyday life. - Creating an assessment culture in the schools. - Improving assessment through evidence-based methods. - Assessing competencies based in new media and technologies. - Making assessment relevant to students and faculty. [It] is a finely detailed blueprint for researchers in education and cognition, as well as for psychometricians in private and government agencies. (DIPF/Orig.).
