2023 Award Recipient 


James W. Pellegrino
University of Illinois, Chicago

The recipient of the 2023 E. F. Lindquist Award, presented jointly by AERA and ACT, is Dr. James W. Pellegrino. Dr. Pellegrino has provided unique and profound contributions to assessment practices through his tireless research combining human learning and assessment techniques. Dr. Pellegrino’s work crosses a variety of fields, including cognitive science, assessment, educational technology, instructional practice, and educational policy. He has authored or co-authored over 300 books, chapters, journal articles, and reports. Through these publications and reports, Dr. Pellegrino has offered a plethora of scientifically based recommendations and has fostered greater understanding and improved use of tests and assessments.

Named in honor of an outstanding scholar and researcher, this annual award is presented jointly by the American Educational Research Association and ACT in recognition of outstanding applied or theoretical research in the field of testing and measurement. The award is meant to acknowledge a body of research of an empirical, theoretical, or integrative nature rather than a single study. Although the research is not required to have led directly to improved educational practices, it should nevertheless be rich in suggestions for additional research that does hold such promise. Particular emphasis will be given to research that has advanced the companion goals of greater understanding and improved use of testing and measurement techniques. Awardees may include individuals conducting research in a broad array of disciplines, such as education and psychology. 

The winner of the award will be invited to give the E. F. Lindquist Award Lecture at the following Annual Meeting. An article emanating from the lecture will be considered for publications in the Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics

Before 1987, the Award recognized only outstanding research in college student development. In 1987 and subsequent years it acquired a broader scope of recognition.
