Expected shifts in test production, administration, scoring, reporting, and costs

Technologies as varied as alphabets and highways serve as the media through which relationships of different kinds are formed and maintained. These technologies provide shared languages, common histories, and harmonized visions of the future for the members of a community or industry.

Economically speaking, these instrumental technologies coordinate and align expectations, decisions and behaviors within a general frame of reference. High-tech industries, in particular, have been very active in developing technology roadmaps that enable deliberate and successful planning for the future.

The purpose of this survey is to try to identify trends in education that may support formulation of a technology roadmap. Your status as an expert with knowledge and experience in the area of tests and measurement will enable you to provide informed estimates in areas for which firm data are lacking. We will compile responses from a sample of experts like yourself, with the intention of presenting results at the 2014 AERA/NCME meetings.

Please respond to the best of your ability. All questions are focused on testing in the U.S.
