[100% Off] Assessment in secondary mathematics Free Course Coupon

Description

This course will ask you to question what it means to make progress in mathematics, to consider what and how to assess, and to challenge assumptions about assessment. Most importantly, you will learn how to use assessment to enable mathematical learning

Summative assessment can be a gatekeeper – those who gain high marks can go onto more challenging mathematical learning experiences or particular careers. Those whose marks are lower may be barred from such experiences of careers. In mathematics, success in examinations gives substantial cultural capital and it is therefore unsurprising that many teachers focus on helping their students attain the best they can at examinations such as GCSE, which is taken at age 16 in England.

However, research shows that ‘teaching to the test’ is not the best way to allow students to attain well, and is certainly not the best way to enable students to be able and willing to continue to study mathematics, or to empower them to use mathematics in their day-to-day lives and careers. Formative assessment allows students to understand how they are progressing in their learning and where next to focus their efforts. Therefore it requires teachers who understand what it means to:

make progress in mathematics
know what to assess and how to assess
use assessment to enable mathematical learning.
