Workshop on Assessment of 21st Century Skills

国家研究委员会(NRC)的测试和评估委员会建议在前两次研讨会的基础上，举办为期两天的研讨会，评估21世纪的技能建设。第一期讲习班探讨了雇主对拥有这些广泛的可转移技能的雇员的需求，这些技能被定义为适应能力、复杂的沟通、非常规问题解决、自我管理/自我发展和系统思维。第二期讲习班考虑了科学教育改革目标与21世纪技能之间的交集，审查了可发展技能的高质量科学教学模式，并讨论了教师将技能融入教学的准备情况。这两个讲习班都表示有必要进行评估，以衡量21世纪技能的取得情况。本研讨会旨在介绍对21世纪技能评估的研究，以便为政策和实践提供信息。研讨会由一名评估专家领导，并召集了一个由教育测量专家、认知心理学家、工作分析和就业测试专家以及学校从业人员组成的专家委员会。委员会调查现有的评估类型和相关的技术报告，并设计讲习班对其进行审查。见多识广的专家被委托撰写论文并在研讨会上发言。一名个人作者撰写一份总结报告，由NRC分发。在第二年，NRC重新召集了所有三个研讨会的领导人，以确定下一步为寻求将21世纪技能注入教学的教育领导人提供以研究为基础的指导。

The National Research Council's (NRC) Board on Testing and Assessment proposes a two-day workshop on assessing 21st century skills building on two previous workshops. The first workshop explored employer demand for employees who possess these broad transferable skills, which were defined as adaptability, complex communication, non-routine problem solving, self-management/self-development and systems thinking. The second workshop considered the intersection between science education reform goals and the 21st century skills, examined models of high quality science instruction that may develop the skills and discussed teacher readiness to integrate the skills in instruction. Both workshops expressed the need for assessments that can measure the attainment of 21st century skills. This workshop is to describe research on assessment of 21st century skills to inform policies and practices. The workshop is lead by an expert in assessment and convenes an expert committee of educational measurement specialists, cognitive psychologists and experts in job analysis and employment testing along with practitioners in schools. The committee investigates the types of assessments available and associated technical reports and designs the workshop to review them. Knowledgeable experts are commissioned to write papers and speak at the workshop. An individual author writes a summary report to be disseminated by the NRC. In the second year the NRC reconvenes the leadership of all three workshops to identify the next steps to provide research-based guidance to educational leaders seeking to infuse 21st century skills into instruction.
