Assessment Research

Assessment research involves studying how effectively educational tools, tests, or programs measure what they intend to. It examines questions like whether a test accurately reflects a student's knowledge, how reliable it is over time, and if it fairly assesses all learners. This research helps educators and policymakers improve assessments to better understand student learning, guide instruction, and ensure fair evaluation practices. Essentially, it’s a systematic way to evaluate and enhance the quality and fairness of assessment methods used in education.
