Next-Gen Assessment: Moving Beyond Standardized Tests – Mohamed Abdelshafy Abouria

In this session, Next-Gen Assessment: Moving Beyond Standardized Tests, we will explore innovative approaches to evaluating student learning that go beyond traditional standardized testing. We will discuss alternative assessment models such as performance-based assessments, portfolio assessments, and competency-based evaluations that offer a more holistic understanding of student progress. The session will highlight how these methods can better align with 21st-century skills, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and real-world application of knowledge.

We will also examine how technology-driven assessments, including AI-powered analytics and adaptive testing, can provide personalized learning insights while maintaining fairness and reliability. Case studies from international schools implementing progressive assessment strategies will be shared, along with practical steps for integrating these methods into existing curricula.
