Globalization has led to demographic changes in public education systems worldwide. Today’s classrooms are more diverse than ever. Hence, it is imperative that state-of-the-art methodologies are used to ensure fairness and equity in the assessment of students’ educational outcomes. In this session, five distinguished educational researchers will present their expert views on the definitions, conceptual underpinnings, and key assumptions of state-of-art methodologies. They will also address how these methodologies can be used to ensure fairness and equity in the design of large-scale and classroom assessments, as well as in the scoring, analysis, and validation of students’ educational outcomes in their respective education systems. A dialogue between the panelists and the audience will take place toward the end of the session.
