Syd Uni - Assessment lecture 2021
The document discusses the importance of feedback in student assessment, emphasizing that effective feedback should promote critical thinking rather than simply assigning grades. It highlights the need for constructive comments that are specific, kind, and focused on improving student work, while also reducing the frequency of grading in early education. Additionally, it suggests that assessment should be viewed as a conversation rather than a mere numerical evaluation.

Students need somefeedback about how they are doing in terms of marks, grades or levels, but I suggest this should be no more than once every two or three years in primary schools, maybe once a year in lower secondary , and perhaps once a term when before school-leaving or university- entrance exams.
