Technology and Measurement around the Globe

A new book, edited by Drs. Louis Tay, Sang Woo, and WAVE lab director Tara Behrend, explores how technology is changing assessment across different regions of the world. The book is the result of a 2021 symposium in which leading scholars across the globe shared their research on the topics of technology and measurement.

“There have been tremendous advancements in technology-based assessments in new modes of data collection and the use of artificial intelligence. Traditional assessment techniques in the fields of psychology, business, education, and health need to be reconsidered. Yet, while technology is pervasive, its spread is not consistent due to national differences in economics and culture. Given these trends, this book offers an integrative consolidation of how technology is changing the face of assessments across different regions of the world. There are three major book sections: in foundations, core issues of computational models, passively sensed data, and privacy concerns are discussed; in global perspectives, the book identifies ways technology has changed how we assess human attributes across the world, and finally, in regional focus, the book surveys how different regions around the world have adopted technology-based assessments for their unique cultural and societal context.”
