Assessment and Evaluation Centre in Education
Collaborative scholarship in assessment, evaluation, and knowledge mobilization
Our Commitment to Education
The Assessment and Evaluation Centre (AEC) in Education began as the Assessment and Evaluation Group (AEG) in 2002 and was later formally recognized as a Queen's University Research Centre in 2026. The AEC leverages a collaborative approach to scholarship to engage in innovative research with the goal of contributing to new knowledge in assessment, evaluation, and knowledge mobilization. Our research, services, and educational programming are all directed at promoting learning and improving educational systems through rigours research and effective community engagement.
We Value Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
We acknowledge that educational assessment has been a historical and current source of systemic discrimination, exclusion and a barrier to social progression for many. We also recognize that, when used appropriately and sensitively, assessment has the power to support equitable access to education and propel learning forward for diverse students. The AEC recognizes that equity is at the heart of educational assessment. Our work strives to promote fairness and equity in assessment, measurement, program evaluation, and knowledge mobilization. We are committed to creating a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment that supports learning, teaching, and research for all.
