An Interdisciplinary Conference on Assessment in K-12 Mathematics: Collaborations Between Mathematics Education and Psychometrics
When: September 25 (5 pm) through September 27 (6 pm), 2011
Location: Atlanta, GA (Hotel TBD)
Why such a conference?
A growing number of projects, many funded by the National Science Foundation, are combining research in mathematics education with various psychometric models. Reports from these projects have advanced the field, but they have also raised fundamental questions about how to use psychometric models for measuring mathematical knowledge. This conference will provide opportunities to learn about psychometric models, examine opportunities and challenges of applying these models to mathematics education research, and to network across disciplines.
Who should attend?
Researchers—doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, research scientists, junior and senior faculty—interested in applications of psychometric models to research in mathematics education.
What are the expected outcomes?
- Increased understanding of the range of psychometric models currently available
- Articulation of opportunities and challenges when applying these models to research in mathematics education
- Identification of ways that such interdisciplinary research can be strengthened
- Papers for dissemination in a special journal issue or monograph
Participation is by invitation and is limited to 40-50 participants.
