Good reference book for learners to use to research a term with which they are unfamiliar. The 'Further Reading' recommendations are useful differentiation for more able learners.
This publication has arrived just at the right time for our new Foundation Degree in Teaching and Learning Support! The content encourages theory to practice by defining terms relating to assessment in such clear and effective ways which will definitely help less experienced practitioners to demystifying educational assessment by answering those questions they may not like to ask.
This has useful sections on assessment for and of learning . It also gives clear accounts of criterion and diagnostic assessment .
This textbook is very detailed but I felt that the level is not quitue right, it is detailed and interesting and shows the key themes covering the assessment process. I think that as additional reading this would be useful but not as a core reader.
This is a very useful text which provides clear and succinct guidance on the whole range of assessment and tracking.
This is a valuable resource which providesdefinitions and explanations of significant assessment terms. I have recommended it to my DTLLS students as useful for their module on assessment.
A basic text but a handy summary of key issues.
