With the advancement of machine learning and artificial intelligence, this Special Issue recognizes the imperative to explore novel perspectives in these domains.
This Special Issue aims to shed light on the multifaceted landscape of educational measurement. This Special Issue seeks to address the needs of (and challenges faced by) practitioners in the assessment and measurement process, foster a dialogue between psychometricians and content experts, and ensure a valid and reliable way of interpreting and using assessment results.
The themes may include, but are not limited to, technological and methodological advancements in measurement, formative and summative assessment, equity and fairness in testing and assessment, validity and reliability, the development and validation of tests or assessment tools, and the integration of assessment with curriculum design. Each theme reflects a unique facet of educational measurement and offers an opportunity to explore its nuances.
In summary, this Special Issue, "Perspectives on Educational Measurement", intends to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to engage in a thoughtful discourse on the intricacies of measurement and assessment within the realm of education. Through its multifaceted exploration of themes and perspectives, the Special Issue aspires to catalyze meaningful advancements in the field, ultimately enriching educational practices on a global scale.
