Camphuijsen, Marjolein K.; Parcerisa, Lluís – European Journal of Education, 2023
The global popularity of test-based accountability appears to signal political trust in standardised assessments as valid and relevant measures of education quality.

This article considers the challenges of using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to assist high-stakes standardised assessment.

This article draws on…
