ABSTRACT
764765The focus of this chapter is on methods of data collection and analysis for the assessment of learning processes and complex performance, the last part of the empirical cycle after theory development and experimental design. In the introduction (van Gog and Paas), the general background and the relation between the chapter sections are briefly described. The section by Savenye, Robinson, Niemczyk, and Atkinson focuses on methods of data collection and analysis for assessment of individual learning processes, whereas the section by Johnson and O’Connor is concerned with methods for assessment of group learning processes. The chapter section by van Gog, Rikers, and Ayres discusses the assessment of complex performance, and the final chapter section by Duley, Ward, Szalma, and Hancock is concerned with setting up laboratories to measure learning and complex performance.
