Educational measurement is of great importance to society and individuals. For instance, learning challenges in children need to be mapped, and teachers are expected to conduct reliable, valid and fair assessments of student outcomes. International large-scale assessments are used to monitor educational systems.
At CEMO we aim to educate specialists who can develop, use and critically evaluate different types of measurements in the field of education and social sciences. Our Master’s Programme in Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation offer students’ up to date knowledge and skills on the responsible use of data in education.
Our researchers are affiliated with the Centre for Research on Equality in Education (CREATE). CREATE’s research intends to provide a comprehensive understanding of how all children and young people can be given the opportunity to realize their potential. It provides a much-needed opportunity for advancing research on educational inequalities and thus overcome the barriers to equality in education through targeted interventions.
