6 ASSESSMENT (p. 286-288) This chapter addresses the purposes of assessment and their relationships to teaching and learning. We discuss brie.y changes in assessment practice and reporting in the late twentieth century.Both units in Chapter 6 discuss the concepts of validity and reliability and their ongoing tensions, together with the roles of formative and summative assessment.Assessment is needed to provide information about individual pupils progress, to help the teacher devise appropriate teaching and learning strategies, to give parents helpful information about their childs progress, and to compare pupils and schools across the country.
This chapter discusses the extent to which one test can provide this information and considers the design and application of tests in relation to their purpose. In England and Wales in the 1990s, assessment and its reporting became a central issue in teaching and learning. The 1988 Education Reform Act introduced statutory subjects and statutory assessment procedures into the curriculum for the .rst time, together with national tests to monitor standards. Unit 6.1, Assessment and accountability, gives an overview of the principles of assessment, taking into account formative and summative assessment, diagnostic testing and important ideas of validity and reliability.
In addition, the difference between norm-referenced testing and criterionreferenced testing is introduced, and the nationally set tests are discussed in the light of these principles.This unit links assessment with the classroom teacher and looks at how the results of assessment can be used to identify progress and diagnose problems.The management of assessment is addressed.The unit touches on the broader issue of what could be assessed, as opposed to what is assessed, together with the role of assessment in the public accountability of teachers, school governing bodies and LEAs.

and examinations, considers assessment as exempli.ed by the GCSE and GCE Advanced Level. This unit links national monitoring of standards with your classroom work, again raising issues of accountability. Public assessments represent vital areas of your work.These examinations grade pupils on a nationally recognised scale and exercise control over entry to both jobs and higher education. Unit 6.2 addresses how national standards are maintained and national grades are awarded. In addition, recent national developments in vocational education (NVQ and GNVQ) are discussed and contrasts made between the assessment methods used for vocational courses and academic courses.

INTRODUCTION
If you want to give someone directions, one of the .rst questions you would ask is Where are you now?
(Driver, 1994, p. 42)
Assessment covers all those activities that are undertaken by teachers and others to measure the effectiveness of teaching and learning. Assessment includes not only setting and marking pupils work, tests and examinations but also the recording and reporting of the results. The results contribute evidence to the accountability of schools to parents, the public and government.When the term assessment is used it includes that work involved in recording and reporting results.
There is some research evidence to suggest that sometimes fewer pupils understand the topic after teaching than before the teaching has taken place all that has happened is that the teacher has slightly disturbed the pupils misconceptions and prior understandings, and confused them. (See, for instance, the QED documentary,Simple Minds, about pupils misconceptions in science, quoted in Dickinson, 1998, p. 17.) In many lessons, some, many or even all pupils fail to understand some of the things that the teacher is trying to teach. Since there is no direct correlation between teaching and learning, it follows that frequently we are in a position where we are trying to assess to what extent our teaching has been successful, in order to know what to do next.
