Preparation of the guidance paper marks a new stage of the SAM development.
Further SAM implementation demands it’s introduction to the wide number of new participants: teachers of specific subjects, psychologists, policymakers. The purpose of guidance paper is to help to solve this issue. The content of the guidance paper includes description of structural approach to the assessment of the learning results and it’s examples for subjects of math and Russian language for primary school students.
Universal platform for computer based testing (including SAM testing, that has complicated structure and nonlinear algorithm for results calculation) is developed.
Current localization is taking place in Boston, USA.
