教育測量:問題與實踐(EM:IP)的主要目的是促進對評估、評估、測試以及對教育者和公眾具有實際重要性的相關問題有更好的理解和合理的辯論。為此，EM:IP發表的文章既及時又有潛力推進教育測量的政策和實踐。注:“教育測量”一詞在這里的使用非常廣泛，可以指根據考試成績或其他評估方式作出的推斷和采取的行動。

The primary purpose of Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice (EM:IP) is to promote a better understanding of and reasoned debate on assessment, evaluation, testing, and related issues of practical importance to educators and the public. To this end, EM:IP publishes articles that are both timely and have the potential to advance the policies and practices of educational measurement.Note: The term "educational measurement" is used herein in a very broad sense, and can refer to both inferences made and actions taken on the basis of test scores or other modes of assessment.
