This latest volume in the World Yearbook of Education series
examines the relationship between assessment systems and efforts to
advance equity in education at a time of growing inequalities. It
focuses on the political motives behind the expansion of an
assessment industry, the associated expansion of an SEN industry
and a growth in consequential accountability systems. Split into
three key sections, the first part is concerned with the assessment
industry, and considers the purpose and function of assessment in
policy and politics and the political context in which particular
assessment practices have emerged. Part II of the book, on
assessing deviance, explores those assessment and identification
practices that seek to classify different categories of learners,
including children with Limited English Proficiency, with special
needs and disabilities and with behavioural problems. The final
part of the book considers the consequences of assessment and the
possibility of fairer and more equitable alternatives, examining
the production of inequalities within assessment in relation to
race, class, gender and disability. Discussing in detail the
complex historical intersections of assessment and educational
equity with particular attention to the implications for
marginalised populations of students and their families, this
volume seeks to provide reframings and reconceptualisations of
assessment and identification by offering new insights into
economic and cultural trends influencing them. Co-edited by two
internationally renowned scholars, Julie Allan and Alfredo J.
Artiles, World Yearbook of Education 2017 will be a valuable
resource for researchers, graduates and policy makers who are
interested in the economic trends of global education assessment.
