Measurement-based assessment has dominated our educational systems
at the expense of the learning and the well-being of students and
teachers. In this book, Gergen and Gill propose a radical
alternative to this broken system, which is based instead on an
inspirational conception of schools as sites of collective
meaning-making and a relational orientation to evaluation. The
authors acknowledge that it is within the process of relating that
the world comes to be meaningful for us, and equally, learning and
well-being are embedded in relational process, which testing and
grades undermine. Providing detailed illustrations using cases from
pioneering schools around the globe at both the primary and
secondary level, this book demonstrates how a relational
orientation to evaluation in education can enhance learning
processes, foster students' engagement, vitalize relationships, and
elevate the evaluation of teaching and the school as a whole.
Featuring collaborative learning, dialogic pedagogy, and flexible
curricula, relational evaluation truly speaks to the demands of a
rapidly changing world.
