In today’s rapidly changing world, a holistic and integrated
approach to educational assessment – and its interdependence with curriculum,
teaching and learning – is essential. In the delivery of 21st century
knowledge and skills, educators will be challenged with issues such as what to
teach, what and how learners need to learn, and how to assess their work
accurately to measure richer and more meaningful learning and more complex
tasks. Meaningful
assessment for 21st century learning
seeks to address different learning contexts and disciplines by exploring how
education theory, methodologies and approaches influence assessment practices
in the 21st century.

and scientific perspectives, covering topics such as blended learning,

childhood and adult learning. It further provides guidance on how to interpret
