DESCRIPTION:Cambridge Assessment has been involved in research into the co
 mparability of examination standards for many years and\, since 2009\, has
  had a dedicated programme of research in this field. \n\nComparability of
  examination standards is a multifaceted and contentious area of research\
 , involving practical dilemmas and complex theoretical modelling of the is
 sues\, which have been complicated by a lack of clarity in the terminology
  being used. Finding effective methodological solutions to inform practice
  is a challenge which has been exercising researchers in the field for man
 y years.\n\nIn this seminar a panel of key staff will discuss the issues s
 urrounding comparability and will engage in debate with the audience about
  methods for establishing comparability\, public understanding of the issu
 es and directions for the future.\n
