Session: Session 4
Room: Falls Church
Presentation Type:Oral Presentation
In 2020, 61 million children of lower secondary school age were recorded as being out of school around the world. When it comes to surveys such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) that serve to evaluate the success of education systems, this out of school population cannot be ignored (Ward, 2020).
Sustainable Development Goal 4 (quality education) is focused on ensuring that no one is left behind. Globally, we strive to provide a quality education experience for all. For this to be achieved it is imperative that we design assessments that can truly meet the learners where they are. That means not just in terms of their cognitive ability but also in terms of their physical location and level of access considering devices, connectivity and even proximity to a classroom and teacher. If we truly strive to provide a quality education for all we need to serve every child, no matter where they are.
This presentation explores the development of large-scale assessments designed to meet students where they are. It will discuss the logistical complexities as well as the need to develop assessments that meet the needs of all learners at scale. Especially those who cannot be found in traditional schools or classroom contexts.
