Summary: | Student assessment plays a key role in
improving education. However, many countries do not
disseminate and make effective use of their student
assessment information. This paper discusses Chile's
effective use of its assessment information and draws
lessons for other countries. A key lesson from the Chilean
experience is that effective use of assessment
information is a challenging task that takes time,
effort, and resources. Another lesson is that the task
requires leadership, long term planning, and consensus
building. Countries able to learn from Chile's
lessons will be in a better position to make
effective use of their student assessments and,
ultimately, to contribute to education quality and learning. |
