The National and the Local: Conflicting requirements in the assessment of learners’ performance
Abstract
Introduction for the 2015 DATA Special Edition This paper originates in a Keynote presentation at the Technology Education Research Conference (TERC2014) Sydney, Australia. Nov 2014. It arose as an invitation from the conference team to consider the tensions that arise from the very different concerns of formative and summative assessment. Specifically in this case the organizers were aware of the digital tools that we had developed for assessing learners’ performance – and that we had shown these tools and approaches to be highly reliable. They were interested to hear how these tools and approaches might fit with the culture of learning in the classroom. Are they seen as an externally imposed discipline – or do they somehow contribute to an enhancement of the culture of the classroom?
