| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: The Architecture of Desistance Stephen Farrall, 2019-06-06 The volume of studies into desistance has grown dramatically in recent years. Much of this research has focused on the internal dynamics of desistance such as decision-making, choice and restraint. Bringing together leading figures and drawing upon case studies from around the world, this book seeks to fill a vacuum in the contemporary literature on desistance by considering processes and practices at a societal level that influence how and why people desist from crime. Beginning with an outline of what is known about how social, cultural and economic structures shape desistance from crime, this book proceeds to explore studies of desistance in countries such as the UK, Brazil, France, Israel, Ireland, Sweden and Chile. These studies touch on variations by ethnicity, the nature of the criminal justice system, economic cycles, gender, religious belief systems and the use of time and space. Policy matters relating to desistance such as the rehabilitation and supervision of former offenders are also explored. This book will be invaluable reading to students and scholars of criminology, sociology and social studies engaged in studies of desistance, criminology, criminal justice, victimology, penology and probation. |
| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Recognition Issues in the Bologna Process Sjur Bergan, Council of Europe, 2003-01-01 The purpose of the Bologna Process is to promote the international mobility of students, graduates and professionals within a European higher education area by 2010, by making it easier for qualifications to be recognised throughout Europe and therefore for them to gain employment. The Bologna Declaration, signed by higher education ministers from 29 European countries in 1999, seeks to achieve this through the creation of a common framework for degrees based on the use of credits. This publication contains the proceedings of a seminar held, in Lisbon in April 2002, to discuss key issues involved in the development of policies which will help realise the European higher education area. |
| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Educational Assessments in the Age of Generative AI Wachira, Patrick W., Liu, Xiongyi, Koc, Selma, 2024-12-24 The rapid and profound permeation of generative AI technology into all aspects of modern society also changes the landscape of higher education and thus leads to a compelling call to harness the power of AI for transforming higher education. One of the most significant areas of opportunity offered by generative AI is in the assessment of learning. The goal of assessment is to foster learning especially essential for success beyond the classroom, and this can only be possible with well-designed assessments that have the potential for determining whether students have learned the content. By harnessing generative AI, assessments can be designed that have the potential to support inquiry-based learning and foster creativity, all essential for the development of a deeper conceptual understanding of content. Educational Assessments in the Age of Generative AI contributes to the effort to bring generative AI to the forefront of assessing students’ learning by exploring how the use of generative AI tools and applications can transform and revolutionize assessment practices. Furthermore, it is devoted to exploring the use of AI in assessments to measure knowledge, skills and students’ abilities in order to prepare them for careers in the 21st century. Covering topic including academic integrity, higher education, and mathematics education, this book is an excellent resource for educators, higher education administrators, policymakers, information technology support professionals, tests and assessment developers, researchers, scholars, academicians, professionals, and more. |

| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Promoting, Assessing, Recognizing and Certifying Lifelong Learning Timo Halttunen, Mari Koivisto, Stephen Billett, 2014-03-11 This book offers an international perspective on the growing interest worldwide in lifelong learning, particularly as it relates to learning beyond compulsory education and initial occupational preparation: across working life. Much of this interest is driven by key social and economic imperatives associated with the changing requirements of work and working life, the transformation of many occupations and lengthening working lives. The concerns in lifelong learning are also associated with individuals being able to engage in learning about cultural and social topics and practices that they had not so far. It is important to understand how this learning can be assessed, recognized and certified. Many in workforces across the world learn much of the knowledge that is required to maintain their employability through that work. Yet, that learning and that competency remains without recognition and certification while this could be particularly helpful for individuals seeking to sustain their employability or to extend their work into new occupations or workplaces. The first section of this book sets out the overall project and outlines the key concepts and issues. It illustrates why there is a need for promoting and recognizing lifelong learning and explains some of the terminology, concepts and key considerations. The second section informs about a range of policies and practices that are currently being deployed or have been deployed across a range of countries within Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. The last section comprises of contributions emphasizing the ways in which the assessment of workers learning takes place in different occupational contexts and different cultural contexts. The final chapter outlines how a systemic approach to recognizing lifelong learning might progress for a country which is promoting a continuing education and training system largely outside of tertiary education institutions. |

| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools R. Carr, 2024-06-01 Most applied behavior analysis (ABA) texts rely heavily on research findings and technical theory, making them inaccessible for use by everyday teachers. Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools: Realistic Implementation of Evidence-Based Interventions by Teachers aims to be the missing link between books on classroom interventions within teacher preparation programs. Dr. R. Nicolle Carr leverages her years of expertise with ABA and channels it into creating practical, realistic working models of ABA that any teacher can use. Her “by teachers, for teachers” approach to writing effectively outlines ABA strategies so that they can be used with few resources and minimal training. Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools is tailored toward future and current educators to enable them to learn invaluable tools like how to effectively take data in a classroom to help with academic performance or behavior management—without requiring them to possess a background in ABA. What’s included in Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools: Chapters on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy The role of cultural considerations and collaboration skills Use of ABA in transition skills Applying ABA to academics and an overview of assessments Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom. Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools: Realistic Implementation of Evidence-Based Interventions by Teachers takes the concepts of ABA and presents them to teachers in a way that is both approachable and applicable. |

| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Assessment and Improvement of Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care: A World-Wide Kaleidoscope Antonia Elisabeth Enikoe Baumeister, Hui Li, Linda Joan Harrison, 2024-08-29 The key aims of early childhood education and care (ECEC) are to offer children from all social backgrounds a good start in their lives, to support parenting as well as families’ workforce participation, and, thereby, to sustainably strengthen the national economy over current and future generations. High-quality ECEC has been shown to improve child outcomes and be a buffer against developmental risk factors. For these reasons, governments, ECEC providers, and researchers are placing an increasing focus on the frameworks and systems that underpin quality as well as the measures that assess quality. At the same time, however, research on ECEC as a multidisciplinary endeavor has shown that the aims and benefits of high-quality ECEC can only be reached when all stakeholders’ needs are acknowledged and sufficiently met. For example, recent evidence suggests that the acceptability and social validity of quality assessment and improvement methods are contested among some stakeholders, and thus, the sustainability of these quality efforts may be in doubt. New challenges also include the ever-changing nature and circumstances affecting ECEC stakeholders, for example, the greater flows of refugee families and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This Frontiers Research Topic will contribute to an updated knowledge base in order to inform governments, providers, and the scientific community about best practices and new solutions for conceptualizing, measuring, and improving ECEC quality. The aim of the proposed Research Topic is to generate a worldwide kaleidoscope of research studies that explore and discuss models for gathering the perspectives of multiple stakeholders and considering the meaningfulness of stakeholder views for conceptualizing, assessing, and improving quality in ECEC. We believe that greater attention needs to be given to the diversity of stakeholders who are invested in ECEC, including government regulatory authorities, service providers, educators, families, communities, and children. We also believe that wide-ranging stakeholder input will generate innovative methods for assessing and improving quality that keep pace with our rapidly changing information society. Two further foci are set on ECEC practices: (1.) that support participation, diversity, and inclusion of all children and families and (2.) that are suitable for developing countries and diverse populations within countries. In this, the focus is not only on best practices but also on the limitations of practices. In soliciting research articles on ECEC stakeholder perspectives, we describe stakeholders as inclusive of government/non-government regulatory agencies, service providers, teachers and caregivers, families, communities, and children. Themes of interest include but are not limited to: • Assessment of quality in ECEC, including self-assessment approaches; • The design of and use of quality frameworks in ECEC; • Effects of quality and of quality improvement on children and families; • Drivers and indicators of quality improvement; • Acceptance and sustainability of quality efforts among ECEC stakeholders; • Policy expectations of quality rating and improvement systems (e.g., funding policy); • The role of teacher and caregiver professionalization; • All types of center-based and home-based ECEC. We are interested both in quantitative and qualitative research designs as well as in mixed-methods research. Cross-sectional, longitudinal, (quasi-)experimental and case study designs are welcome. The following article types are welcome: original research, empirical studies, systematic reviews, community case studies, policy briefs articles, and brief research reports. |
| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Self-directed Learning Oriented Assessments in the Asia-Pacific Magdalena Mo Ching Mok, 2012-10-08 The Asia-Pacific region needs to maximize the benefits of education to enable it to compete in an economic future dominated by innovation, in which assessing student progress must be an empowering rather than delimiting factor. This detailed exposition of the theoretical basis and application tools of self-directed learning-oriented assessment (SLOA) reflects the very latest research championed by the Assessment Research Centre at The Hong Kong Institute of Education. Featuring a range of relevant case studies, it explores the varied theoretical issues related to SLOA and offers an integrated view of the system fully in line with the constructivist paradigm of learning which advocates formative rather than summative assessment. Many of the initiatives outlined here are firsts in the region. SLOA is already being applied in many schools with links to the ARC. It is an approach to assessment that acknowledges the centrality of self-directed learning and which positions assessment as a tool to enable and enhance self-directed learning. It draws on several theories of learning and assessment, including the constructivist notion that learning is best achieved when students take ownership of their educational process, setting their own goals and monitoring their own progress towards those goals. SLOA has been the research and service approach of the ARC since 2005. In the intervening years the centre has developed a number of tools to facilitate SLOA learning and assessment, including vertical ability scales, teacher-friendly computer software and packages for self-directed learning. |

| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Implementing National Qualifications Frameworks Across Five Continents Michael Young, Stephanie Allais, 2016-04-08 This book assesses the impact and implementation of national qualifications frameworks in sixteen different countries. It presents two major lessons for policy makers thinking of introducing a National Qualifications Framework (NQF). First, that an NQF is only a way of framing existing provision; it cannot on its own, lead to the acquisition of skills or knowledge. Second, as an attempt to standardize learning- something that is only to a limited extent standardizable, NQFs have disadvantages as well as advantages. The research was funded by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the European Training Foundation (ETF) and, partly as a result of the ILO/ETF Report, the Editors were asked by the World Bank to help them in advising the government of India on introducing a NQF for vocational qualifications. Building on the findings of the report, the editors of this book presented an NQF implementation strategy to the Government of India on behalf of the World Bank. It laid out the steps and stages that would be involved and took account of the earlier experiences of introducing an NQF. Although this strategy was prepared specifically for the Government of India, others who have read it felt it deserved wider circulation. The report has therefore been included in this volume. Since this research was undertaken, the number countries, especially developing countries, implementing or introducing a NQF has continued to increase. This book will be of interest to policy makers and researchers. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education and Work. |

| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Standard Setting in Education Sigrid Blömeke, Jan-Eric Gustafsson, 2017-02-27 This book summarizes the international evidence on methodological issues in standard setting in education. By critically discussing the standard-setting practices implemented in the Nordic countries and by presenting new methodological approaches, it offers fresh perspectives on the current research. Standard setting targets crucial societal objectives by defining educational benchmarks at different achievement levels, and provides feedback to policy makers, schools and teachers about the strengths and weaknesses of a school system. Given that the consequences of standard setting can be dramatic, the quality of standard setting is a prime concern. If it fails, repercussions can be expected in terms of arbitrary evaluations of educational policy, wrong turns in school or teacher development or misplacement of individual students. Standard setting therefore needs to be accurate, reliable, valid, useful, and defensible. However, specific evidence on the benefits and limits of different approaches to standard setting is rare and scattered, and there is a particular lack with respect to standard setting in the Nordic countries, where the number of national tests is increasing and there are concerns about the time and effort spent on testing at schools without feedback being provided. Addressing this gap, the book offers a discussion on standard setting by respected experts as well as profound and innovative insights into fundamental aspects of standard setting including conclusions for future methodological and policy-related research. |

The authors encourage the reader to reconceptualise assessment as a sociocultural practice. Each chapter studies a key theme in the understanding of assessment policy and practice from a sociocultural perspective and provides questions to prompt reflection on the key assessment concepts outlined in the book. Using culture as both a lens and analytic tool, the chapters examine topics such as The social order of assessment, how assessment works in the world and how learning could be assessed Perspectives on social justice and assessment, with a particular focus on social class and other potential inequalities on the experiences of assessment for young people Discussions of ability and the assessment of students with special education needs as well as the role of inclusivity in assessment practice Written by leading academics from University College Cork, the third volume in the successful Routledge Current Debates in Educational Psychology series is an essential read for researchers and postgraduate students in educational research and education psychology. |

| lack of qualifications in assessments can lead to:: Higher Education in the melting pot Felix Maringe, 2022-02-07 The idea of this book emerged from the Education Deans Forum (EDF) meeting held in Johannesburg in 2018. The forum discussed the twin issues of the 4IR and Decolonisation and how these were likely to impact the future development of Higher Education in South Africa. Essentially, this book provides scholarly analyses of a range of possible impacts of the two discourses. On one hand, the discourses are discussed as representing convergences and divergences in relation to their epistemological, ontological, axiological and methodological assumptions. On the other, they are portrayed as competing for dominance in the contemporary and future discourses in Higher Education. As a scholarly compilation of high-end research, the book is a must-read resource for academics generally and those in teacher education disciplines particularly. Issues of the automation of academic workspaces, impact of digital divides, the opportunities and constraints of the technologisation of curricula, pedagogies, teaching and learning and the intractable challenges of remote modalities of university instruction are dealt with by some of the leading thinkers in the South African academies. |
