Features: Educational evaluation and measurement are core issues in education, and solving this problem involves more than just simple methods and means. Generally, there is significant emphasis on the development of measurement techniques, with substantial efforts dedicated to large-scale, fairer assessments. This effort has undoubtedly made significant contributions to ensuring fair evaluation for everyone and has provided tremendous impetus for societal development. This book does not simply approach the issue from the perspective of selecting and differentiating evaluated individuals, but rather focuses on how to utilize evaluation and measurement tools to promote better learning among students and how to maximize the potential of each student. From this perspective, the issue is not limited to a narrow scope but is a broader one concerning the societal shift in attitudes towards student development and cultural diversity. Even if a beautifully designed test or a series of tests is developed, it cannot resolve the fundamental concepts of evaluation and measurement. More importantly, it depends on a deeper understanding of people and society, as well as a more profound insight into the future of individuals and the future of society.
