Hambleton named Inaugural Fellow of AERA

Ronald K. Hambleton, Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Educational Policy, Research and Administration, was recently inducted as an Inaugural Fellow of the American Educational Research Association (AERA).

Hambleton is executive director of the School of Education’s Center for Educational Assessment which conducts research and provides training in the areas of psychometrics, research methods, and educational statistics to promote fair, useful, and efficient educational assessment practices.

The AERA Inaugural Fellows include past presidents and scholars who have been selected to receive the AERA Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award and association members who have been inducted into other research organizations through 2006.

It is the AERA’s expectation that fellows will be visibly engaged in important programs and activities and that they will serve as models and mentors to the next generations of scholars in the field.

The AERA is the national interdisciplinary research association for approximately 25,000 scholars who undertake research in education. Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., AERA aims to advance knowledge about education, to encourage scholarly inquiry related to education, and to promote the use of research to improve education and serve the public good.
