Assessment+and+Evaluation+in+Action




 * //Introduction//**
 * //This paper represents a tentative attempt to position myself in relation to the wide and varied//**
 * //discourse of education and educational assessment. The path I have trodden in constructing this//**
 * //narrative has required me to grapple through the maze of anomalous and contradictory ideas and//**
 * //attitudes which constitute my current formulations of educational theory and practice.//**
 * //In practical (practice) terms I work as a primary school teacher. Personally, I am an individual with//**
 * //my own education history, a set of varied experiences of New Zealand education which date//**
 * //back to the late 1950s. It is this knowledge, grounded in personal experience, that I seek to use//**
 * //as the engine for my reflections and analysis.//**
 * //To begin this exploration I shall present three classroom vignettes. These are fictionalised, but//**
 * //each is directly based on a regime I have observed in a school where I have been employed.//**
