by jkellogg@illinois.edu (Julie Kellogg) / Mar 19, 2021

On Tuesday, March 23, guest speaker Dr. Hua-Hua Chang (The Chariles R Hicks Chaired Professor, Purdue University) joins us to talk about the future of psychometric research. All are encouraged to attend, as it should be of broad interest.

Abstract: Currently, there is a growing movement against standardized testing in education, which has presented tremendous challenges for graduate schools how to prepare future psychometric researchers. The presentation starts with a brief historic review on the anti-standardized testing movement in China during the Cultural Revolution and its unimaginable damage to the country. The focus of the presentation is to discuss emerging challenges in education today and how psychometric research can greatly help.
