Summary
In educational assessment, both cognitive and contextual variables are important to help us understand how students can be successful in school and society. In cross-cultural comparisons, we strive to capture cultural similarities and differences in target constructs while minimizing cultural bias to reach valid conclusions. We provide an overview of this endeavor with an integration of three perspectives. We first introduce the use of quantitative methodological rigor to address bias in national and international educational assessment. We then describe qualitative and mixed-methods research to deepen our understanding of the root cause of bias. Lastly, we discuss the effect of language in learning and assessments of minority students’ achievement. We conclude that educational assessment research would benefit from a further integration of multiple approaches, and taking full account of variations in contextual factors such as language proficiency.
