It exposes the very different agendas of those who wish to achieve greater system-wide accountability through educational assessment, and those who wish to use it to promote improvements in the quality of pupil learning.’ \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally written to re-conceptualize assessment in education in the 1990s, \u003cem\u003eBeyond Testing\u003c\/em\u003e has stood the test of time and become a classic text in the field. With its examination of the range of uses of assessment – from teacher assessment and standardized testing to formative assessment and norm-referenced testing – to the purposes of assessment – from accountability to support for teaching and learning – the issues it deals with are as enduring and relevant to education now as they were when it was first published. It offers an unsurpassed framework for educational assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, re-released as a \u003cem\u003eRoutledge Education Classic\u003c\/em\u003e, and with a new preface from D. Royce Sadler, a new generation of educationalists can be introduced to the developments in educational assessment – arguably one of the most hotly contested areas of education – in order to further their own understanding and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234285343064,"sku":"9780415689557","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415689557.jpg?v=1771654541","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/beyond-testing-classic-edition-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
