The use of ethical principles in testing, - or the lack of it

Chair

Sverre Leonard NIELSEN (The Norwegian Psychological Association, Norway)

Symposium Abstract

This symposium is an attempt to focus on ethical issues in assessment and testing. While quality assurance of tests and testing in general gains more and more attention, the explicit focus on ethics both in regulations and daily use are not so easy to see. Quality assurance of both competence and methods is in itself connected to ethical principles. However, there is still a challenge of raising the ethical awareness among testusers.
