"An Introduction to Assessment" is for all who work in education,
including those on Education Studies programmes, those in initial
teacher training, and practising teachers keen to update their
knowledge. This book covers: definitions of educational assessment
and the part it plays in relation to individuals, institutions and
society; historical and sociological perspectives; the impact of
educational assessment internationally and how this needs to change
in the light of globalisation and changing employment needs; the
advent of assessment as a policy tool with league tables and
targets underpinning the overwhelming impact of accountability
requirements; teacher appraisal and institutional self-evaluation,
as well as international indicators; assessment for learning; and,
new ideas concerning how assessment could be developed in the light
of the advent of novel information technologies. In addressing
these things, the author shows that assessment truly is a defining
feature of contemporary education, and takes her overview to the
cutting edge of thinking in this field with coverage of the scope
of e-assessment, and assessment for learning as critically
important ways forward. Written in an accessible and engaging
style, "An Introduction for Assessment" is for all those who are
seeking a non-technical introduction, yet one that is delivered by
a leading academic in the field and offers a fresh look at
educational assessment today.
