An excellent collection of articles

This text provides an eclectic mix of relevant ideas which includes current thinking about assessment for learning and agency.

This book provides a useful range of ideas that consider assessment and learning from both learner and assessor perspectives. Theoretical ideas include fascinating sociocultural perspectives, which suit students on the module it is being recommended for.

Good evaluation of assessment and informative read

Excellent comprehensive book. Very good useful ideas for implementing key strategies around assessment in teaching and learning.

This is an essential text for any lecturer or post graduate student of assessment as it emphasises the link between assessment and learning. It takes this link a stage further by explicating the role of the professional development of the teacher in developing assessment literacy. The theoretical underpinning provided by the wide range of key authors reinforces the key idea that assessment can never be reduced to a set of formulaic techniques. The text also provides a framework for discussing the validity of formative assessment.

Provides a comprehensive (or as comprehensive as any 300 page book can provide) overview of assessment and learning, by key recognised authors, who have all published extensively. Most of the chapters are fairly short, but signpost the reader to further reading.

Probably more suitable for PG students interested in assessment, or academic staff with an interest in assessment and AfL practices

Assessment and Learning provides a comprehensive overview of assessment which, while highlighting the complexity and problematic nature of this aspect of teaching and learning, supports knowledge and understanding of theory, policy and practice issues.

This is a great resource for trainee and newly qualified teachers who can be confident of the research informed insights discussed here by a number of well respected contributors.

A range of strategies to support assessment has been explored throughout this book. Practical examples provided. Easy to read and understand.

Exploration of subject in significant depth with valuable further sources identified in comprehensive reference lists.

Good consolidation of idears and theory of practice.

Very useful in all areas of the curriculum - especially within professional studies.

A very informative and reflective guide for post graduate trainee teachers

17 very well-written chapters divided into four distinct parts.

Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in the purpose, impact and the effectiveness of different assessment methods.

A most attractive structure, well organised and valuable illustrated examples.

This is an excellent textbook that covers the bases of assessmet practice. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get behind the theory associated with assessment for learning but it is not a practical guide to technique which might be more useful for trainee teachers.

This book brings together articles about key areas of assessment, which are relevant and up-to-date. Several of my students have bought copies and found it an excellent source of information for their assignments on Assessment.

A useful collection of published works appropriate for DTLLS Module 2.

This second edition is a worthy follow on from the previous edition: extant chapters have been refreshed and six new chapters now included. The authorial writing style makes the book an accessible and thought-provoking read for all who are interested in understanding learning.
