Readers are guided through the principles of evaluation, taxonomies of learning objectives, and techniques for effective assessment, supported by discussions on statistical tools, ethical principles, and examination reforms like CCE, CBCS, and online evaluations.
Rich in practical examples, analytical discussions, and reflective prompts, this book serves as both a conceptual guide and a professional resource. It is ideal for students of education, trainee teachers, and practitioners seeking to enhance classroom assessment practices.
Through its clear language and innovative perspective, Assessment for Learning inspires readers to transform evaluation into an empowering educational experience one that values learning as a process, celebrates progress, and fosters a culture of lifelong curiosity.
