Evidence-centered assessment design (ECD) provides language, concepts, and knowledge representations for designing and delivering educational assessments, all organized around the evidentiary argument an assessment is meant to embody. This article describes ECD in terms of layers for analyzing domains, laying out arguments, creating schemas for operational elements such as tasks and measurement models, implementing the assessment, and carrying out the operational processes. We argue that this framework helps designers take advantage of developments from measurement, technology, cognitive psychology, and learning in the domains. Examples of ECD tools and applications are drawn from the Principled Assessment Design for Inquiry (PADI) project. Attention is given to implications for large-scale tests such as state accountability measures, with a special eye for computer-based simulation tasks.read more

Foundations of Game-Based Learning.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that to study or apply games as learning environments, multiple perspectives have to be taken into account, including cognitive, behavioral, affective, and sociocultural engagement with the subject matter.

Predicting College Grades and Degree Completion Using High School Grades and SAT Scores: The Role of Student Ethnicity and First Language
Rebecca Zwick,Jeffrey C. Sklar +1 more
TL;DR: The degree to which SAT scores and high school grade point average (GPA) predicted first-year college GPA (FGPA) and college graduation was examined for four groups: Hispanic students whose first language was Spanish and Hispanic, Black, and White students whose primary language was English as discussed by the authors.

Situated Cognition and the Culture of Learning
TL;DR: Collins, Brown, and Newman as mentioned in this paper argue that knowledge is situated, being in part a product of the activity, context, and culture in which it is developed and used, and propose cognitive apprenticeship as an alternative to conventional practices.
Book
The Sciences of the Artificial
TL;DR: A new edition of Simon's classic work on artificial intelligence as mentioned in this paper adds a chapter that sorts out the current themes and tools for analyzing complexity and complex systems, taking into account important advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending Simon's basic thesis that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action.
Book
The uses of argument
TL;DR: In this paper, the origins of epistemological theory are discussed and the layout of argument and modal arguments are discussed, as well as the history of working logic and idealised logic.
