We live and work in a time when the issues facing education\, many of which have been with us for a \;considerable period\, are being approached primarily through measurement &ndash\; classroom assessment\, \;research methods\, standardized testing\, international comparisons. Yet we do not often stop to \;consider what counts &ndash\; and alternatively\, what doesn&rsquo\;t count &ndash\; in a climate where measuring up to a \;standard is the name of the game. At a deeper level\, we rarely raise questions about measurement \;itself. What is measurement? What is a standard? How does measurement of education articulate with \;the purposes and potential of education? Questions such as these are sometimes expressed but \;seemingly never heard in the discourses which dominate. The aim of this conference is to create a \;space for such questioning by inviting an exchange of views around the issues pertaining to \;measurement as this influences the various discourses of education.
