AERA Division D and NCME: Building on Our Synergies and Singularities

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

AERA Division D focuses on measurement, psychometrics, and assessment; statistical theory and quantitative methodologies; qualitative methodologies; and multiple and mixed methodologies as applied to educational research. The National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) is a professional organization for individuals involved in assessment, evaluation, testing, and other aspects of educational measurement. This joint session has organized a panel of speakers from both Division D and NCME to discuss the similarities and differences of two organizations and how we could work together to better serve the broader community.
