Assessment and Learning places learning at the centre of our concerns and explicitly underscores the importance of assessment in that learning.



This new edition provides a comprehensive overview of assessment that is used to support learning, practice-based theory on assessment for learning, and formative assessment to support individual development and motivate learners.





With a strong list of existing and new contributors, this second edition has been updated to include the latest work on assessment. Readers will find research-informed insights from a wide variety of international contexts. It features:





- New chapters on e-assessment, the learner's perspective on assessment and learning and the influence of assessment on how we value learning


- Teacher-friendly assessment topics


- Practical examples and chapter summaries throughout





This book is useful to teacher educators and researchers on postgraduate courses in education, teaching, learning and assessment.
