'It is an exceptionally thoughtful assessment of assessment, and I
am (along with anyone else who broods about education) much in your
debt.' Jerome Bruner, personal communication with the author When
this award-winning book was originally published in 1994, a review
in the TES said: 'Beyond Testing is a refreshingly honest look at
the dilemmas facing those who are trying to make educational
assessment more supportive of high-quality learning for all pupils
and students ... It contains powerful and practical messages for
assessment developers, policy-makers, teachers and pupils. It
exposes the very different agendas of those who wish to achieve
greater system-wide accountability through educational assessment,
and those who wish to use it to promote improvements in the quality
of pupil learning.' Originally written to re-conceptualize
assessment in education in the 1990s, Beyond Testing has stood the
test of time and become a classic text in the field. With its
examination of the range of uses of assessment - from teacher
assessment and standardized testing to formative assessment and
norm-referenced testing - to the purposes of assessment - from
accountability to support for teaching and learning - the issues it
deals with are as enduring and relevant to education now as they
were when it was first published. It offers an unsurpassed
framework for educational assessment. Now, re-released as a
Routledge Education Classic, and with a new preface from D. Royce
Sadler, a new generation of educationalists can be introduced to
the developments in educational assessment - arguably one of the
most hotly contested areas of education - in order to further their
own understanding and practice.
