This book examines teachers' conceptions and practices of
assessment in Tanzania. Adopting a sociocultural perspective, it
reveals how Tanzanian teachers understand the role of assessment in
relation to their classroom practices, community and other factors.
The book determines that although teachers in Tanzania generally
consider assessment to be useful for evaluating and monitoring
learning, improving student performance and for accountability,
their assessment practices are rarely seen as directly supporting
student learning; it is not that teachers do not know how to
implement the mandated assessment reforms. Instead, they are
reluctant to adopt and embrace the reforms because they consider
them to be contradictory to their teaching roles, and overly
burdensome, if not implausible, given the physical, economic and
cultural contexts of teaching and learning. This book argues that
improving traditional assessments, rather than radically
transforming them, can be more effective for cultivating practices
that suit the physical, political, economic and cultural contexts
of Tanzanian schools. Highlighting the significance of
sociocultural factors in educators' professional practices, while
also illustrating the major challenges in implementing global
reform agendas in diverse contexts, it is a valuable resource for
educators and scholars interested in development and educational
reform in African contexts.
