This book brings together internationally recognised scholars with an interest in how to use the power of assessment to improve student learning and to engage with accountability priorities at both national and global levels. It includes distinguished writers who have worked together for some two decades to shift the assessment paradigm from a dominant focus on assessment as measurement towards assessment as central to efforts to improve learning. These writers have worked with the teaching profession and, in so doing, have researched and generated key insights into different ways of understanding assessment and its relationship to learning. The volume contributes to the theorising of assess...
This book comprises chapters featuring a state of the art of research on digital technology in mathematics education. The chapters are extended versions of a selection of papers from the Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching (ICTMT-13), which was held in Lyon, France, from July 3rd to 6th. ICTMT-13 gathered together over one hundred participants from twenty countries sharing research and empirical results on the topical issues of technology and its potential to improve mathematics teaching and learning. The chapters are organised into 4 themed parts, namely assessment in mathematics education and technology, which was the main focus of the con...
La régulation de l’apprentissage des élèves en classe est une préoccupation constante des enseignants. En effet, comment soutenir au mieux la progression de l’élève, comment l’amener à dépasser une difficulté, à l’aider à développer des démarches d’autorégulation plus conscientes, à construire du sens aux situations d’apprentissage vécues ? Quelles sont les interventions et situations susceptibles de soutenir au mieux la régulation des activités de chaque élève ? Quels sont les obstacles à la régulation de l’apprentissage en classe ? L’ouvrage expose, dans un premier temps, les principales conceptualisations de la régulation, élaborées à partir d’u...
This book provides new perspectives on Assessment for Learning (AfL), on the challenges encountered in its implementation, and on the diverse ways of meeting these challenges. It brings together contributions from authors working in a wide range of educational contexts: Australia, Canada, England, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Israel, Philippines, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States. It reflects the issues, innovations, and critical reflections that are emerging in an expanding international network of researchers, professional development providers, and policy makers, all of whom work closely with classroom teachers and school leaders to improve the assessment of student...
The premise that writing is a socially-situated act of interaction between readers and writers is well established. This volume first, corroborates this premise by citing pertinent evidence, through the analysis of written texts and interactive writing contexts, and from educational settings across different cultures from which we have scant evidence. Secondly, all chapters, though addressing the social nature of writing, propose a variety of perspectives, making the volume multidisciplinary in nature. Finally, this volume accounts for the diversity of the research perspectives each chapter proposes by situating the plurality of terminological issues and methodologies into a more integrative...
This study features a collection of eight case studies of exemplary cases from secondary schools as well as international literature reviews and policy analysis related to formative assessment.
Cet ouvrage survient à un moment particulier du fonctionnement des systèmes éducatifs. La pression de plus en plus forte qu'exercent les évaluations internationales amène les acteurs de ces systèmes à s'interroger de manière totalement renouvelée sur la mesure de l'efficacité de l'action de formation, mais aussi sur les leviers et les régulations permettant de l'améliorer. Les réformes en cours se présentent, en effet, de plus en plus comme des réponses à des questions qui ne sont plus propres aux fonctionnements nationaux mais bien inscrites dans une perspective plus globale d'intensification des échanges, des comparaisons, voire même du développement des concurrences. Su...
The field of language testing and assessment has recognized the importance and underlying theoretical and practical underpinnings of language assessment literacy (LAL), an area that is gradually coming to prominence. This book addresses issues that promote the concept of LAL for language research, teaching, and learning, covering a range of topics. It brings together 14 chapters based on high-stakes and classroom-based studies authored by academics, professionals and researchers in the field. The text examines diverse issues through a multifaceted approach, presenting high-quality contributions that fill a gap in a research area that has long been in need of theoretical and empirical attention.
Le jugement professionnel - de quoi s'agit-il? En quoi est-il une dimension fondamentale et incontournable de la pratique enseignante? Comment s'exerce et se développe le jugement professionnel des enseignants et enseignantes en évaluation des apprentissages? Ces questions ont guidé une recherche collaborative conduite au Québec et à Genève. Le livre Jugement professionnel en évaluation propose des pistes de réflexion et d'action qui intéresseront tant le personnel enseignant que les personnes accompagnatrices et formatrices, dans les milieux scolaires et universitaires, ainsi que le monde de la recherche qui collabore étroitement avec les milieux de la pratique.
