Abstract
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 independently of one another. While the present book is devoted to critically analyzing general and principal aspects of assessment, the other study presents and discusses cases of assessment that have been implemented in actual practice. Naturally, the content of either book is enriched by the materials and perspectives provided by the other one.
