The importance of ideas: philosophical underpinning as a foundation for sound assessment and high performing education systems
Thu 26 September 2013
Hughes Hall
This seminar will aim to get to the hidden 'drivers' of the form and content of assessment and qualifications. It will examine the role of ideas – theory, assumptions and values – which, in some cases, are consciously adopted as the basis of specific assessments, and in other cases perform powerful, but unspoken, shaping. It will also explore the role of theory in understanding the context in which assessment and qualifications are located – including making sense of international comparisons.
The speakers will present different perspectives on the subject and audience will have plenty of opportunities to pose questions and engage into discussion.
Cost: free
