Assessment and Innovation in Education
Looney, Janet
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Education Working Paper #24, July 16, 2009 61p (PDF)
"High-stake assessment can be an obstacle to the introduction of innovative practices in education and to the development of social and behavioural competences that are crucial for innovation (but typically fall out of the scope of existing assessments). This report reviews the evidence on the impact of high-stake summative assessment on innovation in education and explores possible ways to reconcile high-stakes assessments and examinations through innovative approaches to testing."
This report was prepared in collaboration with the OECD Secretariat for the project "Innovation Strategy for Education and Training" undertaken by the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI). Janet Looney is responsible for the CERI programme entitled: What Works in Innovation in Education.
