Overview
Attention to fairness, validity, and accessibility in assessments has reached a new level of importance as testing expands to include more diverse populations, more complex purposes, and more sophisticated technologies. This book addresses the need to consider fairness as it relates to current changes in education and the way in which assessments are sometimes leading and sometimes responding to these changes. In 23 chapters contributed by leading experts, this volume traces the philosophical, historical, and practical questions surrounding the topic--with attention to the impact of technology on the process of assessment. Perfect for researchers and professionals in test development, design, and administration, Fairness in Educational Assessment and Measurement presents perspectives on this extremely timely and controversial topic.
