SIG coordinator

dr. Javier Fernández Ruiz (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) researches formative assessment, especially self- and peer assessment, assessment design, and teacher training. During his PhD, he explored how university teachers design their assessment methods, and which variables play a role in the process. Since 2016 he is a member of ERLA Research Group, where he has collaborated in several national and international funded projects. As a teacher, he has been involved in educational psychology courses since 2018, mostly regarding the use of ICTs in educational settings.

Mission statement

Assessment and evaluation constitute some of the major challenges of education nowadays. This is because it squares the desire for improved constructive learning against the demand for institutional reliability and accountability. SIG 1 is interested in addressing the need for pedagogically driven models of assessment and electronic assessment that inform policy, support teachers in their work and that allow pupils and students to take more control of their own learning and become more reflective. We are particularly interested in research from kindergarten to university level, which include the following topics:

  • Theoretical influences on assessment and evaluation 
  • Feedback in assessment 
  • Lifelong learning and assessment 
  • Socially responsible and effective electronic assessment 
  • Co-constructing knowledge with collaborative assessment 
  • New directions for electronic assessment 
  • Assessment and learning analytics 
  • Large-scale assessment
