The research reported here was designed to explore the nature of lassroom teachers’ assessment practices in schools considered to be innovative in relation to the curriculum and successful in achieving high attainment at Key Stage 2. The aim of the research was to provide evidence of the ways in which teachers’ understandings about learning and assessment shaped their pedagogy and approaches to the curriculum and n doing so help others to consider how they could develop their own practice. A case study approach was adopted so that detailed descriptions of current successful practice could be supported and rationalised by clearly articulated practitioner beliefs.
QCDA Building the Evidence Base Strand 1 Report
This is the final report of the Student Data element of Strand 1 of the Building the Evidence Base project. This strand of the project set out to capture student1 feedback on their experience of the curriculum. The primary method used was a web‐based survey between February and April 2008. This was supported by a number of focus groups which were used a) to explore issues which could not effectively be dealt with via a survey; b) explore in greater depth interesting or ambiguous findings from the survey; and c) draw out the views of some students who were unlikely to participate in the survey.
