Explore projects in Educational Assessment!
Projects in advancing educational assessment focus on improving how student learning, skills, and development are measured across diverse educational settings. These studies aim to design more valid, reliable, and equitable assessment tools that go beyond traditional testing to capture complex competencies such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and social-emotional learning. Researchers explore innovations in formative and summative assessment, computer-adaptive testing, performance-based tasks, and culturally responsive assessment practices. Projects may also address issues of test fairness, accessibility, and the use of assessment data to inform instruction and policy. By enhancing the quality and utility of educational assessments, these projects support more personalized learning, informed decision-making, and equitable educational outcomes.

- Process Data for Modern Educational Assessment and LearningProject Abstract/Summary This research project will use process data to develop tools for educational assessment and adaptive design for testing and learning. With the increasing use of computer-based testing, a variety of behavioral data have been collected. This project will focus on developing methods to conduct accurate assessments and deliver effective personalized learning materials/interventions. These methods will be based on process data collected in log files of computer-based tests. Specific topics to be addressed include the analysis of process data… Read more: Process Data for Modern Educational Assessment and Learning
