Assessment Practices and Training in Indonesia
The Centerfor Educational Assessment will be working with Professor James M. Royer of the UMass Psychology Department on a USAID project involved in
enhancing the educational assessment skills in Indonesia. The goal of
the project is to increase Indonesia's capacity in educational
assessment expertise as part of their national educational improvement
efforts. The project will entail training a selected group of
Indonesians visiting UMass in advanced assessment topics. Professor
Craig Wells from the Center will be directing the measurement training
component for the project and he will be assisted by Professors
Hambleton and Sireci, and several graduate students. In addition, Craig
Wells traveled to Indonesia in the summers of 2007 and 2008 to prepare
instructional modules and training development, while Jennifer Randall did the
same in summer 2009.
