The aim of this article is to depict the state of the art in evaluation and assessment in education, based on three main sources that came out from this researchers community: (1) articles from this specific issue; (2) articles edited in the Journal Mesure et évaluation en éducation and (3) papers presented at international conferences of the Association pour le développement des méthodologies de l’évaluation en éducation (ADMEE). This leads us to distinguish between two main topics, for which we pointed out both main advancements, pitfalls, and questions. The first one considers evaluative practices as research objects and the second one, looks at evaluation as a research method.
