Paper Abstract:
|
This paper considers uses of technology in educational assessment from the perspective of innovation and support for
teaching and learning. It first examines large-scale testing contexts where the applications are focused mainly on
logistics such as test development, administration, scoring and reporting. It contrasts these cases with more innovative
assessment cases from both large-scale testing and classroom based contexts where attempts have been made to harness
the power of technology to provide rich, authentic tasks that elicit aspects of integrated knowledge, critical thinking, and
problem solving. The latter aspects of cognition are seldom well addressed by traditional testing programs and
approaches. Strategies for developing balanced assessment systems are also considered and these involve articulating
curriculum-embedded, benchmark, and summative assessments across classroom, district, state, national, and
international levels. The paper concludes with perspectives on the potential of technology to launch a new era of
integrated, learning-centered assessment systems. |
