This book focuses on central issues that are key components of successful planning, development and implementation of LSAs. The book's main distinction is its focus on practice- based, cutting-edge research. This is achieved by having chapters co-authored by world-class researchers in collaboration with measurement practitioners. The result is a how-to book whose language is accessible to practitioners and graduate students as well as academics. No other book so thoroughly covers current issues in the field of large-scale assessment. An introductory chapter is followed by sixteen chapters that each focus on a specific issue. The content is prescriptive and didactic in nature but based on the most recent scientific research. It includes successful experiences, exemplary practices, training modules, interesting breakthroughs or alternatives, and promising innovations regarding large-scale assessments. Finally, it covers meaningful topics that are currently taking center stage such as motivating students, background questionnaires, comparability of different linguistic versions of assessments, and cognitive modeling of learning and assessment"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEducational tests and measurements$xMethodology 615 0$aEducational tests and measurements$xMethodology. 676 $a371.26 686 $aEDU030000$2bisacsh 701 $aErcikan$b Kadriye$01159224 701 $aRousseau$b Michel$f1971-$01627696 701 $aSimon$b Marielle$01627697 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812269403321 996 $aImproving large-scale assessment in education$93964418 997 $aUNINA
