Disgrifiad cryno

The module attempts to assess what a pupil is learning and in doing so raises questions of `why?' and `for whose benefit?' as well as `what is to be assessed?'
This module is concerned with the role of assessment in an educational context, ranging from the informal classroom assessment of learning to assessment systems at a national scale. Examples of assessment practices from all phases of education, from primary schools to higher education, are analysed with a view to understanding both the potential and limitations of assessment in an educational context. Particular emphasis will be placed on assessment for learning principles and practices. As such, students will be guided to develop interactive games aimed at first year undergraduate students with the view to encourage student self-reflection and evaluation

There may be some costs incurred in producing the game for the second assessment.
