Designing Effective Assessments Accurately Measure Students' Mastery 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.

This book highlights the increasing need for people who will be working in professions such as teaching, health, engineering and business management to have the skills for living and working in a global society. Globalisation and the challenges resulting from recent political events in Europe and North America have given rise to a need for training and further and higher education programmes to address the skills young people all need to effectively engage in the current global society.

The focus of this volume is to review the spectrum of topics that are essential to the training of 21st-century healthcare providers. This book also evaluates the evolving paradigm of how teachers can teach and how students can learn – and how the system evaluates success.
