Commonly a four-fold classification of the purposes of assessment is used. 1 2 3 4 diagnostic, to identify pupils’ current performance formative, to aid learning summative, for review, transfer and certification evaluative, to see how well teachers or institutions are performing. While this classification is useful in helping teachers focus on the different purposes of assessment it can also be a barrier. Any assessment could be used to provide data for most or all the different purposes listed above.
Partly this grows up over time and partly it is the result of specific information gathering, which is done to give a foundation of knowledge of what will and what won’t work with individuals or classes. Peter Airasian (1996) calls these ‘sizing up’ assessments and alerts teachers to the fact that by their very nature they are partial and imperfect, as are all assessments. The trouble is, it is possible to feel that a pupil is ‘known’ well despite only ever meeting him or her in a very narrow set of contexts and in a very specific relationship.
Our plea is that national policy will grasp this opportunity and give a lead in this direction. (Black and Wiliam, 1998a:19) Improving standards, not merely measuring them The theme of this chapter comes from an OFSTED report that stated, ‘Overall the purpose of assessment is to improve standards, not merely to measure them. Although the quality of formative assessment has improved perceptibly, it continues to be a weakness in many schools’ (OFSTED, 1998:91–2). Over the past ten years the introduction of a national testing system in England has had a profound effect on schools and classrooms.
