Trending and Emerging
- Social-Emotional Learning Assessments:
There is a growing emphasis on the assessment of social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies, highlighting the importance of emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills in educational contexts. - Culturally Responsive Assessment Practices:
Recent publications increasingly focus on the development and validation of assessment tools that are culturally responsive, addressing the diverse backgrounds of students and promoting equity in educational assessment. - Integration of Technology in Assessment:

Declining or Waning
- General Intelligence Assessments:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the frequency of studies focusing on traditional intelligence assessments, such as IQ tests, as the field shifts towards more holistic and multi-dimensional approaches to understanding cognitive abilities. - Standardized Testing Critiques:
Research critiquing standardized testing practices has waned, possibly as the dialogue around assessment has evolved to focus more on formative and alternative assessment methods rather than solely critiquing existing standardized measures. - Behavioral Assessment of Specific Disorders:
The publication of studies specifically addressing behavioral assessments for singular disorders, such as ADHD or autism, has decreased. This may indicate a shift towards more integrated approaches that consider co-occurring conditions and broader behavioral health frameworks.
