This self-contained volume organizes what is kwn about cognitive diagstic assessment in education, including its conceptual and philosophical basis, methods, and applications. The complete list of topics includes educational demand, philosophical rationale, construct validity, cognitive methods, test construction, statistical models, and unresolved issues (e.g., how to best translate diagstic information into teaching practices). Leighton and Gierl present a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of cognitive diagstic assessment in education.
