"""Automated scoring engines […] require a careful balancing of the contributions of technology, NLP, psychometrics, artificial intelligence, and the learning sciences. The present handbook is evidence that the theories, methodologies, and underlying technology that surround automated scoring have reached maturity, and that there is a growing acceptance of these technologies among experts and the public.""

From the Foreword by Alina von Davier, ACTNext Senior Vice President

Handbook of Automated Scoring: Theory into Practice provides a scientifically grounded overview of the key research efforts required to move automated scoring systems into operational practice. It examines the field of automated scoring from the viewpoint of related scientific fields serving as its foundation, the latest developments of computational methodologies utilized in automated scoring, and several large-scale real-world applications of automated scoring for complex learning and assessment systems. The book is organized into three parts that cover (1) theoretical foundations, (2) operational methodologies, and (3) practical illustrations, each with a commentary. In addition, the handbook includes an introduction and synthesis chapter as well as a cross-chapter glossary."

Reviews for Handbook of Automated Scoring: Theory into Practice

'the Handbook of Automated Scoring is an excellent resource for understanding the theoretical, methodological and practical components of automated scoring. It provides a good foundation for understanding the considerations behind how assessments are designed and detailed methodological information about how to best create these kinds of systems. Part 3 that contains different illustrations of how to best design these systems is especially useful for students who are learning more about how these systems should work when implemented correctly.' - Magdalen Beiting-Parrish and Jay Verkuilen, International Statistical Review, 2021
