SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This paper presents results from a systematic review of 68 studies that examined the link between participation in large-scale assessment programs of students' learning and education policy in 32 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Included studies either identified specific cases of assessment results being used by policymakers to inform education reform in their systems, or identified specific cases when assessment results had no impact on education policy in specific education systems. The review classified the available evidence to address the questions: what types of assessments have impacted education policy in the region? ; what are the intended uses of assessments? ; how are assessment data used in education policy? ; what education policies have been informed by assessments? ; and what factors influence the use of assessments in education policy?
