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 will provide a focus for
increasing scholarly output in the field of assessment, much of
which is currently scattered across a number of other specialist
journals. Given the need for scholars to be aware of related developments
in different parts of the world, this journal will be explicitly
international in focus and will seek to publish contributions
from different national settings with different assessment priorities.
