Abstract

Background: The emergence of digital technology in the field of psychological and educational measurement and assessment broadens the traditional concept of pencil and paper tests. New assessment models built on the proliferation of smartphones, social networks and software developments are opening up new horizons in the field.

Method: This study is divided into four sections, each discussing the benefits and limitations of a specific type of technology-based assessment: ambulatory assessment, social networks, gamification and forced-choice testing.

Results: The latest developments are clearly relevant in the field of psychological and educational measurement and assessment. Among other benefits, they bring greater ecological validity to the assessment process and eliminate the bias associated with retrospective assessment.

Conclusions: Some of these new approaches point to a multidisciplinary scenario with a tradition which has yet to be created. Psychometrics must secure a place in this new world by contributing sound expertise in the measurement of psychological variables. The challenges and debates facing the field of psychology as it incorporates these new approaches are also discussed.

基于数字技术的心理与教育评估的新趋势。

背景:数字技术在心理和教育测量与评估领域的出现，拓宽了传统的纸笔测试概念。基于智能手机、社交网络和软件开发的新评估模型正在该领域开辟新的视野。方法:本研究分为四个部分，每个部分讨论了一种特定类型的基于技术的评估的好处和局限性:动态评估、社交网络、游戏化和强制选择测试。结果:心理与教育测量与评估领域的最新发展具有明显的相关性。除其他好处外，它们为评估过程带来了更大的生态效度，并消除了与回顾性评估相关的偏见。结论:这些新方法中的一些指向了一个多学科的场景，一个尚未创建的传统。心理测量学必须通过在测量心理变量方面提供可靠的专业知识来确保在这个新世界中占有一席之地。心理学领域在整合这些新方法时所面临的挑战和争论也被讨论。
