ASSESSMENT IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION AND ITS EFFECTS: AN INTRODUCTION
1. THE PRESENT BOOK AS AN ICMI STUDY
The present book, Investigations into Assessment in Mathematics Education, is one of two studies resulting from an ICMI Study Conference on Assessment in Mathematics Education and Its Effects. The book which is published in the series of ICMI Studies under the general editorship of the President and Secretary of ICMI is closely related to another study resulting from the same conference: Cases of Assessment in Mathematics Education (Niss, 1992). The two books, although originating from the same sources and having the same editor, emphasize different aspects of assessment in mathematics education and can be read indep
