More DescriptionA Teacher s Guide to Assessment is designed for educators and instructors. It offers a comprehensive introduction to educational assessment in primary, secondary or tertiary education or vocational training. The emphasis is on the application to classroom teaching contexts. A variety of studies show that most teachers or instructors fail to receive any preparation for educational assessment in their profession. This text offers a semester-long introduction to key issues. It is designed for initial teacher-education courses. There are review questions at the end of each chapter, and exercises are a key feature of the text. Learners are introduced to the assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes through numerous examples. The text provides a largely non-quantitative introduction to criterion-referenced assessment. Technical details are relegated to the appendices. This text is published under the Social Science Press imprint by Thomson Learning in Australia.
