Promoting Assessment as Learning: Improving the Learning Process

Ruth Dann explores the complex interactions between pupil learning and educational assessment. Presenting the very latest thinking on assessment, including the opinion that assessment should have a direct impact on learning as well as being a measure of what has been learned, the author emphasizes assessment as a factor in the learning process and offers a variety of theoretical insights and practical applications. Assessment strategies and techniques are examined and considered as part of the curriculum as well as assessment tools.
