ABSTRACT
Education in Western countries (and we congratulate its institutions without making them perfect) is progressing rapidly with well-studied plans and steps in blended education (resident and online) and from there to its upcoming digital online counterpart.
While this educational renaissance has been taking place for more than two decades in the West and some advanced countries in the East, such as Japan, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia, Arab education systems have begun, with hesitation and shyness, a few years ago to explore the possibility of integrating contemporary information and communication technology into formal education in schools and universities, as if these technological developments that bring about radical transformations in aspects of daily life do not concern them, or as if they consider the educational process to be recreational or additional without being essential and a basic driver for launching a profound reformative and renewal revolution, with major changes in the philosophy, goals and concepts of new education, including the specifications and roles of teachers and new learners, auxiliary services, and the vital overlapping fields – real and electronic – for learning and teaching, digital curricula formats, strategies, methods and activities for integrated learning and teaching, and ending with the types, methods and standards of educational measurement and assessment to control achievement results. As contemporary education is experiencing unprecedented transformations due to information and communication technology, considering students as the center of the educational process with its inputs, operations and outputs… and as educational assessment is considered the beating heart of the educational process, guiding the construction of learning and teaching and achieving the required academic results, we present in this scientific work a new assessment system that is compatible with the developments of digital technology and the requirements of the new integrated education that has begun “timidly” in Arab educational environments.
The book covers, in 391 pages and five chapters, the basics of educational measurement and assessment, and includes three new topics: alternative assessment, integrated education and an educational assessment system sensitive to the reality of learning. The five chapters are:
1 – Educational measurement and assessment in integrated education – general concepts and issues
2 – Alternative educational assessment in integrated education
3 – Hamdan system for assessment sensitive to the reality of learning in integrated education
The procedural framework for the assessment system sensitive to the reality of learning
4 – Types, roles and stages of educational assessment in the system sensitive to the reality of learning
5 – Reinforcing facts for the educational assessment system sensitive to the reality of learning
