Assessment in Mathematics Education : Large-Scale Assessment and Classroom Assessment.

Abstract

Trade Annotation: This text provides an overview of current research on a variety of topics related to both large-scale and classroom assessment. First, the purposes, traditions, and principles of assessment are considered, with particular attention to those common to all levels of assessment and those more connected with either classroom or large-scale assessment. Assessment design based on sound assessment principles is discussed, differentiating between large-scale and classroom assessment, but also examining how the design principles overlap. The focus then shifts to classroom assessment and provides specific examples of assessment strategies, before examining the impact of large-scale assessment on curriculum, policy, instruction, and classroom assessment.
