O knihe

A volume in Research on Sociocultural Influences on Motivation and Learning
Series Editor: Dennis M. McInerney, The Hong Kong Institute of Education
Assessment for learning is meant to engage, motivate, and enable students to do better in
their learning. However, how students themselves perceive assessments (both high-stakes
qualifications and low-stakes monitoring) is not well understood. This volume collects
research studies from Europe, North and South America, Asia, and New Zealand that
have deliberately focused on how students in primary, secondary, and tertiary education conceive of, experience,
understand, and evaluate assessments. Assessment for learning has assumed that formative assessments and classroom
practices would be an unqualified success in terms of student learning outcomes. Making use of a variety of qualitatively
interpreted focus groups, observations, and interviews and factor-analytic survey methods, the studies collected in this
volume raise doubts as to the validity of this formulation. We commend this volume to readers hoping to stimulate their
own thinking and research in the area of student assessment. We believe the chapters will challenge researchers, policy
makers, teacher educators, and instructors as to how assessment for learning can be implemented.
