Division H VP Session: Past Designs, Present Tensions, Future Paths: Reimagining Educational Assessment Across Contexts

Fri, April 10, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 515A

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Assessment plays multiple and often conflicting roles in education: monitoring quality, steering instruction, shaping opportunities, and supporting learning. Yet assessment systems are never static—they reflect historical choices, cultural logics, and shifting policy priorities. This structured poster session examines assessment across past designs, present tensions, and future paths, bringing together international research that spans policy, practice, and classroom experience. By situating assessment in time, place, and purpose, the session explores how systems evolve, what consequences they carry for schools and students, and how alternative approaches might open new possibilities. Collectively, the contributions invite reflection on how assessment can be reimagined for more just and educationally meaningful futures.
