Technology and Measurement around the Globe
Technology and Measurement around the Globe
Sang Eun Woo, Purdue University, Indiana
Tara Behrend, Purdue University, Indiana
There have been tremendous advancements in technology-based assessments in new modes of data collection and the use of artificial intelligence. Traditional assessment techniques in the fields of psychology, business, education, and health need to be reconsidered. Yet, while technology is pervasive, its spread is not consistent due to national differences in economics and culture. Given these trends, this book offers an integrative consolidation of how technology is changing the face of assessments across different regions of the world. There are three major book sections: in foundations, core issues of computational models, passively sensed data, and privacy concerns are discussed; in global perspectives, the book identifies ways technology has changed how we assess human attributes across the world, and finally, in regional focus, the book surveys how different regions around the world have adopted technology-based assessments for their unique cultural and societal context.
- Provides examples of inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary science in the domain of technology-based assessments
- Discusses cultural and contextual issues related to technology and assessments in different applications, including health, education, and business
