Contemporary Perspectives on Research in Assessment and Evaluation in Early Childhood Education
A volume in Contemporary Perspectives in Early Childhood Education
Series Editor Olivia N. Saracho, University of Maryland
Researchers, educators, professional organizations, administrators, parents, and policy makers have increased their
involvement in the assessment and evaluation of early childhood education programs. This interest has developed swiftly
during the last decades. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National
Association of Early Childhood Specialists in State Departments of Education (NAECS/SDE) developed a position
statement titled, "Early childhood curriculum, assessment, and program evaluation: Building an effective, accountable
system in programs for children birth through age 8," to address related trends, issues, guiding principles, and values.
Appropriate and well-designed evaluations need to address several audiences including researchers, educators, policy
makers, children, and parents. They need to encourage the implementation of a strong foundation that improves the
quality of the children's education. Child assessment and program evaluation can lead to effective results and better
accountability for preschool, kindergarten, and primary school programs. The purpose of this volume is to share a
collection of research strands on contemporary perspectives on research in assessment and evaluation in early childhood
education. It provides a review and critical analysis of the literature on assessment and evaluation of programs, children, teachers, and settings. The volume begins with
a brief introductory chapter that presents the reader with a map of the area, laying out the issues and alternatives, and linking these to the chapters that follow. It
addresses several areas including (1) understanding assessment and evaluation with young children, (2) schools and assessment implications, (3) teacher evaluation and
professional development, (4) social relationships and assessment, (5) content areas in early education assessment, (6) technology and assessment, and (7) conclusion
with future research directions in assessment and evaluation in early childhood education. The volume is of interest to researchers, educators, policy makers, university
faculty, graduate students, and general readers who are interested in research on assessment and evaluation in early childhood education. The chapters are authored by
established scholars in the field.
