I'm not opposed to assessment - it's a vital part of pedagogy, because we need to know how our students are doing, but more importantly, students need to know their own progress, and what to do to improve. I believe in assessment for learning - providing students with constructive feedback to extend their learning. Unported License.

Everyone is forced to perform at a level that aligns to what those in power expect. Everyone is distracted from the business of learning by the need to 'perform'. I have already written about the superficiality and inappropriateness of many tests in a post called Who put the ass in assessment? so I won't bore you further here.

Next time, they improve their performance and avoid the same errors. As Graham Brown-Martin remarked, gaming is powerful because there is constant assessment of performance (usually self assessment, but also from the community who are playing the game if it is a social game). Gamers can make mistakes and learn from them.

Often, the differences between the two philosophies determine how students are treated, how they are assessed and ultimately, how they view their education and their own achievements. Later they are assessed on what they have remembered, and are given a grade to show how well they have been able to do so. Unported License.

The constant assessment of teacher performance really puts a strain on our ability to provide stimulating and exciting experiences for our students.

He spoke on the purposes of assessment and exposed the roots of the examination regime that many of us in schools, colleges and universities are oh so familiar with. What do we assess for?
