3. The aim of teaching is simple: it is to make student learning
possible. Teaching always involves attempts to alter
students’ understanding, so that they conceptualise
phenomena and ideas in the way that scientists,
mathematicians, historians, physicists, or other experts
conceptualise them (Ramsden, 2003:7).

9. Knowledge
‘…although all of these titles and expressions refer
to learning, none of them mentions either “concept”
or “knowledge” … The talk about states has been
replaced with attention to activities … (Sfard, 1998,
p6).

people become through learning and learn
through becoming
whether they wish to do so or not, and whether
they are aware of the process or not’ (Hager and
Hodkinson 2009:633).
Learning as becoming
11. What is learnt is a complex social
construction that subsumes the individual
learner
Emerging paradigm
12. What is learnt is shaped by context
Learning and the learner change as context

16. • ‘… assessment can be thought of as occurring whenever
one person, in some kind of interaction, direct or indirect,
with another, is conscious of obtaining and interpreting
information about the knowledge and understanding,
abilities and attitudes of that other person.
• To some extent or other this is an attempt to know that
person. In this light, assessment can be seen as a human
encounter.’ (Rowntree, 1987:4)

17. Formative : teacher intending that the knowledge
he gains about the student should be used
diagnostically in helping the student grow…..
Summative: intending to obtain information about the
student’s present state that can be reported to a third party
who may use the knowledge in deciding what to do with the
student……

18. •Constructive alignment
QA-type interventions (e.g. marking grids;
more tightly defined criteria; moderation)
cannot address the underpinning problem:
assessment is a social activity not a scientific
activity.

19. ‘ When students receive comments on their
work, they should expect this to be the start
of the process, not the end of it. We need to
follow through rather than relentlessly move
on to the next activity.’ (Boud, 2012)

24. ‘to compare institutional performance in a
valid way it is necessary to measure
educational gain: the difference between
performance on a particular measure
before and after the student’s experience
of higher education’ (Gibbs 2010:6).

of continuous enquiry,
the teacher is not there
for the sake of the student…
….both are there
for the sake of Learning..........
