In this study, we explored the factor structure of a previously validated survey instrument, Brown’s Conceptions of Assessment Questionnaire (COA-III), when administered to a social-media based sample of 241 U.S. early childhood education professionals. We then used these results to examine participants’ conceptions and how these conceptions relate to one another. Following a brief presentation of the statistical results, the presenter will discuss how the COA-III offers promise to educational researchers, policymakers, and professional preparation programs seeking to understand what early childhood education professionals think and believe about the purpose of child assessment.
