About This Course
Assessment for Learning (AfL) is referred to ubiquitously in Singaporean classrooms, but its meanings, implications and applications in schools and wider workplace learning contexts are less clear. This course gives an overview of the discourse of AfL and formative assessment, against its varied and different theoretical constructions from Anglophone countries (e.g. USA and UK), before examining regional case studies from more recent times. Through group discussions and examples of current practices, participants are guided to critically examine and interact with their perceptions and practices of AfL, permeating day-to-day classroom work.
What You'll Learn
Course participants will identify the divergent theoretical possibilities and relations inherent in formative assessment and AfL in the research and wider literature, in particular in terms of designing formative assessment tasks.
Topics covered include:
- How are formative assessment and AfL related?
- Is there a more efficacious conception of AfL as informed by theory and identified by formative assessment scholars and researchers?
- How relevant is this to Singaporean and wider Asian context?
-How can assessment tasks be designed to enhance or ensure learning?
