The articles in this volume explore various conceptions of assessment and evaluation and the ramifications of these perspectives in a number of countries across many diverse art educational settings. Kit Grauer introduces the theme in "An Editorial: Values and Evaluation." In "International Perspectives on Evaluation and Assessment of Visual Arts Education: A Report from the INSEA Bosschenhoofd Conference", author Doug Boughton gives an indication of the contrast of ideologies and cultural differences that surface when questions of assessment and evaluation are raised. Enid Zimmerman, in "Authentic Assessment Does Not Always Mean Equitable Assessment", is concerned that issues of pluralism and diversity are taken into account when developing authentic assessment in the visual arts.

Following the articles are reports from various International Society for Education Through Art (INSEA) members and world councilors. (MM)
