Making Formative Assessment Work

Drawing on case studies from primary classrooms, this book analyzes how teachers use formative assessment to promote learning.

The book equips teachers, student teachers, educators, and researchers with a sophisticated grasp of issues in formative assessment and how they relate to the promotion of pupil learning.

Networks of Mind: Learning, Culture, Neuroscience

This ground breaking book is unique in bringing together two perspectives on learning - sociocultural theory and neuroscience. Drawing on both perspectives, it foregrounds important developments in our understanding of what learning is, where and how learning occurs and what we can do to understand learning as an everyday process. Leading experts from both disciplines demonstrate how sociocultural ideas (such as the relevance of experience, opportunity to learn, environment, personal histories, meaning, participation, memory, and feelings of belonging) align with and reflect upon new understandings emerging from neuroscience concerning plasticity and neural networks. Among the themes critically examined are the following: <ul>
<li>Mind and brain</li> <li>Culture</li> <li>Ability and talent</li> <li>Success and failure</li> <li>Memory</li> <li>Language</li> <li>Emotion</li>
</ul>
Aimed at and accessible to a broad audience and drawing on both schools of thought, Networks of Mind employs case studies, vignettes and real life examples to demonstrate that, though the language of sociocultural theory and that of neuroscience appear very different, ultimately the concepts of both perspectives align and converge around some key ideas. The book shows where both perspectives overlap, collide and diverge in their assumptions and understanding of fundamental aspects of human flourishing. It shows how neuroscience confirms some of the key messages already well established by sociocultural theory, specifically the importance of opportunity to learn. It also argues that the ascendency of neuroscience may result in the marginalization of sociocultural science, though the latter, it argues, has enormous explanatory power for understanding and promoting learning, and for understanding how learning is afforded and constrained.

Originally published in 2004. In this book Kathy Hall analyses recent educational reform in England relating to primary education and literacy. By taking account of themes such as globalisation, teacher education, children's learning and especially literacy, she develops a critique of government reactions and explores alternative responses to the crucial issues of our time. The book concludes with policy recommendations based on evidence drawn from a range of perspectives. Inviting the reader to consider what is happening in primary education generally, and in literacy more specifically, the book will prove both thought- and action- provoking.

Assessment in Practice: Explorations in Identity, Culture, Policy and Inclusion (Current Debates in Educational Psychology)

Assessment in Practice explores timely and important questions in relation to assessment. By examining the relationship between identity, culture, policy and inclusion, the book investigates the conflicted and fractured battleground of assessment, and challenges current and practiced understandings of assessment practice. The authors encourage the reader to reconceptualise assessment as a sociocultural practice. Each chapter studies a key theme in the understanding of assessment policy and practice from a sociocultural perspective and provides questions to prompt reflection on the key assessment concepts outlined in the book. Using culture as both a lens and analytic tool, the chapters examine topics such as <ul>
<li>The social order of assessment, how assessment works in the world and how learning could be assessed</li> <li>Perspectives on social justice and assessment, with a particular focus on social class and other potential inequalities on the experiences of assessment for young people</li> <li>Discussions of ability and the assessment of students with special education needs as well as the role of inclusivity in assessment practice </li> </ul>
Written by leading academics from University College Cork, the third volume in the successful Routledge Current Debates in Educational Psychology series is an essential read for researchers and postgraduate students in educational research and education psychology.
