Assessment in Practice
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-83240-4 (ISBN)
The authors encourage the reader to reconceptualise assessment as a sociocultural practice. Each chapter studies a key theme in the understanding of assessment policy and practice from a sociocultural perspective and provides questions to prompt reflection on the key assessment concepts outlined in the book. Using culture as both a lens and analytic tool, the chapters examine topics such as
The social order of assessment, how assessment works in the world and how learning could be assessed
Perspectives on social justice and assessment, with a particular focus on social class and other potential inequalities on the experiences of assessment for young people
Discussions of ability and the assessment of students with special education needs as well as the role of inclusivity in assessment practice
Written by leading academics from University College Cork, the third volume in the successful Routledge Current Debates in Educational Psychology series is an essential read for researchers and postgraduate students in educational research and education psychology.
