近幾十年來，教育評(píng)估領(lǐng)域取得了重大進(jìn)展。教育評(píng)估作為一項(xiàng)政策問題日益突出，補(bǔ)充了評(píng)價(jià)學(xué)生成績(jī)的新方法。特別是，人們對(duì)促進(jìn)以及衡量、標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和質(zhì)量的評(píng)估模式越來越感興趣。這些對(duì)個(gè)體學(xué)習(xí)者、機(jī)構(gòu)和教育系統(tǒng)本身都有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響。教育評(píng)估為評(píng)估領(lǐng)域的學(xué)術(shù)產(chǎn)出提供了一個(gè)焦點(diǎn)。該雜志明確以國(guó)際為重點(diǎn)，并鼓勵(lì)來自廣泛的評(píng)估系統(tǒng)和文化的貢獻(xiàn)。該雜志的目的是探索政策和實(shí)踐的共性和差異。

Recent decades have witnessed significant developments in the field of educational assessment. New approaches to the assessment of student achievement have been complemented by the increasing prominence of educational assessment as a policy issue. In particular, there has been a growth of interest in modes of assessment that promote, as well as measure, standards and quality. These have profound implications for individual learners, institutions and the educational system itself.Assessment in Education provides a focus for scholarly output in the field of assessment. The journal is explicitly international in focus and encourages contributions from a wide range of assessment systems and cultures. The journal's intention is to explore both commonalities and differences in policy and practice.
