The research group originated in 1985 with the creation of the area of Research and Diagnostic Methods in Education (Royal Decree 1888, BOE 257 of 16 October 1984). The evolution of the universities and the development of MIDE gave rise, over the years, to specific groups, among which the Evaluation and Measurement in Education Group was born. This evolved into a research group (Evaluation and Measurement Group, Education for Social Cohesion -GemEduCo-, as well as another closely related innovation group: InnovaMIDE, recognised as an educational innovation and teaching quality group by the Universitat de València. Both groups serve the overall purpose of research and training of researchers in the field of Educational Measurement and Evaluation. GemEduCo aims to analyse the capacity of Education for social transformation. To this end, it builds on the research tradition developed since 2005 through projects funded through competitive calls in the field of educational measurement and evaluation, aimed at the study of methodologies for the design of instruments and models for the evaluation of educational systems and institutions.

Both groups serve the overall purpose of research and training of researchers in the field of Educational Measurement and Evaluation. GemEduCo aims to analyse the capacity of Education for social transformation. To this end, it builds on the research tradition developed since 2005 through projects funded through competitive calls in the field of educational measurement and evaluation, aimed at the study of methodologies for the design of instruments and models for the evaluation of educational systems and institutions. In this period the projects AVACO (Analysis of Context Variables; SEJ2005-05995) and MAVACO (Models of Analysis of Context Variables; EDU2099-1385), both funded as R&D projects by the Spanish State (through the MICINN), were undertaken. Since 2013, already from the GemEduCo structure, he leads the SECS/EVALNEC project (EDU2012-34734; MINECO) "Education System and Social Cohesion: design of a needs assessment model", focused on the extended definition of the concept of Social Cohesion proposed by the Council of Europe (2000, 2005). Since 2016, the Group has been developing a new competitive project (EDU2016-78065-R; MINECO) focused on the Validation of an evaluation system for university degrees based on a Social Cohesion Model. These projects have functioned as an articulating element of teaching and research, allowing the defence of several Doctoral Theses, Master's and Bachelor's Degree Final Projects, as well as the publication of numerous articles, as shown on the group's website. In addition, the EVALEF Project (2012-2016, code EDU2011-29467; MINECO) Validation of an evaluation instrument of Family Educational Styles, anchored in the topic of evaluation of educational systems, has opened a specific line of research in the field of educational measurement that is also linked to the establishment of guidelines for the design of intervention programmes with families. Complementarily, he develops other projects on the design of measurement instruments and evaluation systems (in the field of lexical competence [EVA-LEX; UV-INV_AE11-42034]-, or the evaluation of the network of conservatories and the design of instruments to assess musical and dance competence -Consellería d'Educació i Esport; Generalitat Valenciana-) in which he applies his developments in these methodologies. On the other hand, it has an intense collaboration with international institutions and researchers either through its own projects or in collaboration with international projects. Special mention should be made of the group's participation in the Ibero-American Network of Researchers in Teaching Evaluation (RIIED) and collaborations with universities in Latin America, the United States of America and Europe. This "know-how" and "know-how" is part of the research training task of the GemEduCo group, which is involved with specific teaching on measurement and evaluation in education in several official masters of the Universitat de València (Master in Policy, Management and Direction in Educational Organisations, Master in Psychopedagogy, Master in Social and Educational Action, Master in Social and Educational Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action, Master in Educational and Social Action), Master in Social and Educational Action, Master in Special Education, International Master in Migration, Master in Educational Psychology and Human Development in Multicultural Contexts) and in the Doctorate in Education - all of them at the Universitat de València, and has given rise to the defence of numerous Doctoral Theses and Final Degree and Master's Theses. It also receives numerous guest researchers and PhD students from different countries for stays at the UV. At the moment, its specific line of work focuses on the design and development of instruments and plans for the evaluation of Educational Systems and Institutions, Teachers, Students, programmes and materials. Likewise, in collaboration with the InnovaMIDE group, it designs and evaluates on-line materials for training in various areas of psycho-pedagogical measurement and evaluation. Two concepts that are at the basis of all the GemEduCo group's lines of work:
Education is carried out by the whole of society, from the intentional action developed in educational institutions, to all the non-formal elements that act with educational consequences and the informal ones, as well as the action of social models of reference; and
The development of a true culture of evaluation must be based on the rigour of the research carried out on the strategies and instruments for psycho-socio-pedagogical measurement, evaluation and diagnosis. Creating a culture of evaluation is not satisfied with "improvised, administratively or politically charged evaluation", but in the careful work that identifies the added value of a methodologically well-conducted evaluation.

- Desde una perspectiva sistemica y holista, el objetivo principal es desarrollar procesos de evaluacion (modelos, instrumentos y tecnicas) que ayuden a la mejora de la Educacion, concebida como una accion de la sociedad en su totalidad. Para ello, como objetivos especificos, que ya han ido concretandose en desarrollos disponibles para la sociedad, tenemos:
- 1. Investigar sobre alternativas metodologicas que coadyuven a la mejora de los diseños de instrumentos de medicion, tecnicas evaluativas y modelos de evaluacion y diagnostico educativo, a partir de metodologias innovadoras de desarrollo de instrumentos, de validacion metrica y de diseño de pruebas mas eficientes, ofreciendo desde la complementariedad metodologica soluciones utiles y fiables para la elaboracion de instrumentos de calidad.
- 2. Diseñar Modelos de Evaluacion Educativa (de sistemas, Instituciones, programas, materiales y actores de la educacion -profesorado, alumnado, equipos directivos-) basados en la aportacion que realiza la Educacion para la mejora de la Cohesion Social definida segun la propuesta realizada por el Consejo de Europa en Lisboa (2000) y publicada en 2005, como objetivo para el desarrollo de las politicas publicas en la Union Europea.
- 3. Diseñar instrumentos y tecnicas de evaluacion orientados a recabar informacion acerca de las dimensiones incluidas en el Modelo mencionado, que son: Bienestar Social (para todos), Sostenibilidad (a lo largo de la vida), Justicia Social y Equidad (en el acceso a recursos y oportunidades), Integracion de la diversidad (personal y social), Participacion (social). Los instrumentos de evaluacion deben cumplir con las exigencias de calidad (fiabilidad y validez) de los instrumentos de medida, asi como reunir la informacion relevante desde diferentes colectivos (administracion educativa, direccion, profesorado, alumnado, familias) con el fin de aportar la maxima utilidad a la evaluacion del sistema educativo.
- 4. Validar metricamente los instrumentos elaborados. Los instrumentos de evaluacion deben cumplir con las exigencias de calidad (fiabilidad y validez), asi como reunir la informacion relevante desde diferentes colectivos (administracion educativa, direccion, profesorado, alumnado, familias) con el fin de aportar la maxima utilidad a la evaluacion del sistema educativo, en los diferentes niveles evaluados en cada caso.
- 5. Diseñar conjuntos diagnosticos integrados para diferentes propositos psicopedagogicos.
- 6. Ofrecer a centros educativos de diferentes niveles, a partir del modelo y los instrumentos que se elaboran, un feedback significativo sobre su calidad educativa en terminos de contribucion a la cohesion social, y lineas y planes de mejora relevantes para la innovacion continua en esta linea.
- Assessment of Educational Systems.GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments that serve to assess the contributions that education makes towards the development and transformation of society, from a concept of social cohesion. It integrates different perspectives and aims to build a global model for the evaluation of education systems, in order to improve education in favour of social cohesion. GEM-Educo is developed with a commitment: to evaluate education (whether in the systems, institutions or programmes) from a position that privileges the right of all to a quality education. In other words, integrating inclusion as a basis for achieving excellence. In this sense, the concept of social cohesion adopted by the Council of Europe (Lisbon, 2000, 2005), as a guide for the development of public policies, constitutes an integrating and systemic vision of quality, which can embrace the idea of quality as a right for the whole of society from any ideological position. For this reason, GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments which serve to assess the contributions which education makes towards the development and transformation of society, based on a concept of social cohesion. In short, it integrates different perspectives and, due to its holistic ¿ globalising ¿ nature, aims to build a model which necessarily requires the support of a large research group and different projects.
