- Title
A crisis for efficacy?
- Authors
Marshall, Bethan
- Abstract
Bethan Marshall reviews the evidence behind current concerns that school pupils in England are suffering from over-testing. She reveals an education system in which increasing numbers of teachers believe they are doing what is required rather that what is best for their pupils -- certainly in terms of developing independent learning skills. Some teachers mitigate this by using Assessment for Learning strategies; but for Bethan this finding should not diminish calls for reform.
