The three contributors demonstrate great skill in presenting their arguments and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the implications of educational assessment. The arguments are sustained right up to the last page and, with careful reading, will be of great benefit to anyone who takes the trouble to take this book seriously. * Geoffrey Hinchliffe, Director of Academic Practice, Centre for Staff and Educational Development, University of East Anglia, UK *\u003cbr\u003eA lucid and enlightened debate engaging both sides of the assessment ‘divide’. The arguments here serve to actually strengthen the thinking concerning this pressing educational issue – it is what good policy making, sound professional practice and our children need and surely deserve. * Christine Doddington, Senior Lecturer in Education, University of Cambridge, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors Series Editor's Preface Introduction, \u003ci\u003eGerard Lum\u003c\/i\u003e  Part I: Assessment and Accountability,\u003ci\u003e Andrew Davis \u003c\/i\u003ePart II: The Nature and Purpose of Educational Assessment \u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e A Response to Andrew Davis, C\u003ci\u003ehristopher Winch \u003c\/i\u003eAfterword\u003cb\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003eCan the Two Positions Be Reconciled?, \u003ci\u003eGerard Lum\u003c\/i\u003e Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48885762883927,"sku":"9781472572295","price":22.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/educational-assessment-on-trial-key-debates-in-educational-policy-9781472572295","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
