Abstract	Advances in cognitive psychology deepen the understanding of how students gain and use knowledge. Advances in technology make it possible to capture more complex performances in assessment settings, by including, for example, simulation, interactivity, collaboration, and constructed response. The challenge is in knowing just how to put this new knowledge to work. Familiar schemes for designing and analyzing tests produce assessments that are useful because they are coherent, within the constraints under which they evolved. Breaking beyond the constraints requires not only the means for doing so (through the advances mentioned above) but schemas for producing assessments that are again coherent, that is, assessments that may indeed gather complex learning or evaluate programs but which build on a sound chain of reasoning from what is observed to what is inferred. This presentation first reviews an evidence-centered framework for designing and analyzing assessments. It then uses this framework to discuss and illustrate how advances in technology and in education and psychology can be harnessed to improve educational assessment. (Contains 10 figures and 40 references.) (Author/SLD)
