Brilliant book for Teachers Trainers! One of the best I have seen for assessment - well, this and Tummons's book. It goes into sufficient depth but not too much detail on a range of different types of assessment from APL to Work-based Assessment (WBA). This book is accessible to everyone and should be in every college's LRC. Great for AET and DET trainees alike!
This book is very useful for those studying at the higher levels in that it presents many differeing perspectives on assesment.The reading lists for the book enable the reader to follow up any areas of interest.This is a very though provoking book that promotes debate on many issues surrounding the nature of asessment
This has useful sections on assessment for and of learning . It also gives clear accounts of criterion and diagnostic assessment .
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.
Good book for reference. Explains terms well and gives references to explore each one further.
