Abstract

Initially, descriptions of the recent history of Lebanon and the Lebanese systems of education are presented. Attention is subsequently focused on school-based assessment research involving cognitive, achievement, and personality testing. Attention is also afforded to research involving contextual factors that relate to the assessment process. Recommendations for additional research are proposed and the feasibility of these recommendations is discussed vis-a-vis the prevailing situation.
