This innovative book offers a new approach to assessment in which
learners can follow their own learning journey using cumulative
feedback or measurements of distance travelled from different
starting points. Education currently mirrors the values and
practices of a highly competitive world with testing, grading and
monitoring of standards becoming its driving forces. Competition
may stimulate high achievers, but may also demotivate or even
damage the rest. Ipsative feedback (on progress) and personal
learning gain measurements are often hidden. A range of global case
studies from school and higher education illustrate four themes:
the benefits of ipsative feedback, making good use of learning gain
measurement, the challenges of implementing these novel practices
and how to combine new approaches with traditional assessment
methods. Exploring the difficulties of turning the tables on
hierarchies based on achievement and whether it is fair to elevate
progress, this book will be the start of conversations about a
future that is not obsessed with testing and grades.
