Following the trend from previous years, many studies were based on the construction of psychological scales. In contrast, because the field shares the concerns on oversupply and overabundance of psychological scales and measurements, many seminars and research presentations have warned the necessity of validity examination and methodology for it. In recent years, studies of psychological measurement, educational evaluation, and testing are subdivided into several areas and reported in various academic organizations. While some studies are conducted on theories of testing, the development of new statistical procedures, and application of IT technology on testing, others investigate practical problems occurring in real-life testing situations. In the future, these studies may provide new directions to connect academic research and educational practices, which has been a problem to be solved in educational psychology.
