Background
Recognizing the need for capacity development in the area of assessment of learning in the Asia-Pacific region, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) is planning to organize a series of capacity development activities on assessment related issues during the 2014-2015 period. As an initial event, UNESCO Bangkok (NEQMAP Secretariat) organized a four-day workshop with a theme of “large-scale assessments of learning” on 23-26 September 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand.
This workshop aimed to provide an overview of assessment issues, including benefits and challenges in implementing assessments, well-known large-scale assessment models and practices at national and international levels, along with assessment initiatives such as ASER, with a focus on the practical parameters of each model’s implementation as well as the use of assessment information or data and its implication for policy making. The main target audience for the workshop was government officials with responsibility for conducting large-scale assessments in their respective countries of the Asia-Pacific region, while also welcoming participants from other organizations who were interested in the workshop.
