Nowadays, a strong emphasis is placed on the integration of assessment  and instruction, on assessing processes rather than just products, and  on evaluating individual progress relative to each student's starting  point. \u003cbr\u003e  This book addresses assessment issues in light of the present state of  affairs. The first part discusses new alternatives in the assessment  of achievement in various subject areas, focusing on agenda, practice,  impact and evaluation of the assessment. The second part deals with  issues related to assessment of the learning process, specifically:  questions concerning the assessment of individual differences in prior  knowledge, learning skills and strategies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributing authors.
