Working Inside the Black Box
註釋Much recent research indicates that effective formative assessment is a key factor in raising pupils' standards of achievement. Recognised by the QCA, Assessment for Learning is a key idea underpinning the Key Stage 3 Strategy work on assessment. This key title in the area of assessment for learning is vital reading for all teachers to ensure that pupils' education and attainment is maximised. * Concise and easy to follow * Provides research findings and examples * Helps you to raise levels of achievement in your school * Enables you to ensure pupils are sufficiently involved in their own assessment and have a good understanding of what they are trying to achieve Table of contents: * The starting point: from inside the black box (Is there evidence that improving formative assessment raises standards? Is there evidence that there is room for improvement? Is there evidence of how to improve formative assessment?) * The journey: learning with teachers (The KMOFAP project. Spreading the word. National policies. The learning gains.) * The findings: how change can happen (Questioning. The importance of effective questioning. Feedback through marking. Peer-assessment and self-assessment. The formative use of summative tests. * Reflections: some underlying issues (learning theory. Subject differences. Motivation and self-esteem.) * The big idea: focus on learning (A learning environment: principles and plans. A learning environment: roles and expectations.) * What next - what you can do (As an individual teacher. Working with colleagues. Across the whole school.).
