The Interpenetration of Cognitive, Emotional and Social Factors in Learning

Authors: Norris Haynes, Roger Weisberg, and Ernest Washington

Consulting Editors: Lawrence Aber and Constance M. Yowell

We applaud contemporary efforts to add measures of social emotional learning to the battery of instruments by which we assess human performance, however, we anticipate that recognition of the dialectically interactive nature of each of these domains of mental activity will increase and that educational measurement in the future will need to make accessible for documentation and assessment the orchestrated integration of affective, cognitive and situative processes in human mentation. The authors of this paper are asked to explore the perpetuation of these ideas and to speculate on the future of testing in light of these changing factors.  VIEW DRAFT
