PILA and the future of assessment
PILA promotes knowledge sharing and experimentation to generate more valid and useful assessments of complex skills.
As the PILA community grows, we can delve into a number of important questions, including:
What are important competences for which we need new assessments, and how can we design assessments to accurately measure them?
PILA can be used to pilot new ideas for assessing complex competencies, including:
- considerations on task design;
- use of digital tools;
- AI-supported analytical models; and
- implementation of scaffolds to help learning.
Some of these ideas will be further developed for large-scale international assessments such as PISA, as well as for national assessments.
PILA provides a space where teachers, assessment experts, technology designers and policymakers can exchange perspectives on this important question.
How can we design digital assessments for use in the classroom?
PILA activities invite learners to conduct experimental work, collect and analyse data, play with ideas, and build creative solutions to problems.
By monitoring students’ work on these activities and reflecting on detailed performance reports, teachers can better understand their students’ strengths and weakness to respond accordingly.
The experience of teachers working with PILA can tell us more about how digital tools are best integrated in their teaching, and what teachers need to make the best use of them for learning.
How can large-scale data from formative learning platforms inform policy decisions and educational interventions?
PILA and similar systems that blend learning and assessment have the potential to generate large quantities of data that can be used to measure the impact of educational interventions or provide guidance to students in their educational choices. By engaging with policymakers and public institutions around the world, PILA can contribute to the discussion on appropriate uses of large-scale data in education.
