Workshop: Design and Development of Large-Scale Learning Assessments
Background
The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) Secretariat at UNESCO Bangkok, with generous support from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and Malaysian Fund-in-Trust (MFIT), organized a five-day workshop from 16 to 20 March 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand. Being the second in the series of capacity development workshops organized by NEQMAP, this workshop was technical in nature and focused on several aspects of design and development of large-scale learning assessments including development of test frameworks, item writing and item analysis. The main target audience was government officials who are deeply involved in or familiar with technical aspects of test development of their national assessments.
