Assessment and evaluation

Assessment, measurement and evaluation are fundamental to educational outcomes. We investigate the role of different approaches of assessment to learning outcomes using robust statistical approaches.

Researchers across the school are focused on

• What are the most effective methods of assessment?
• What are the best methods of evaluating outcomes?
• How can sophisticated measurement techniques enable the development and evaluation of positive school-based outcomes?
