ASSESSMENT AND TEACHING OF 21ST CENTURY SKILLS ...

This book provides a detailed description of research and application outcomes from the
Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills project  which explored a framework for
understanding the nature of these skills. The major element of this new volume is the
presentation of research information from the global assessment of two 21st century skills that
are amenable to teaching and learning: collaborative problem solving  and learning in digital
networks. The outcomes presented include evidence to support the validity of assessment of 21st
century skills and descriptions of consequent pedagogical approaches which can be used both to
teach the skills and to use them to enhance key learning goals in secondary education systems.
The sections of the volume are connected through a focus on the degree to which innovative
assessment tasks measure the constructs of interest. This focus is informed by conceptual and
methodological issues associated with affordances of 21st century computer-based assessment.
How understanding of the nature of the skills  as derived from these assessments  can guide
approaches to the integration of 21st century skills in the classroom  is informed by
initiatives adopted by participating countries. The guiding questions in this volume are: Do
the assessment tasks measure the constructs? and What are the implications for assessment and
teaching in the classroom? It is the third volume of papers from this project published by
Springer.
