Over the last two decades, large-scale national, or provincial, standardised testing has become prominent in the schools of many countries around the globe. National Testing in Schools: An Australian Assessment draws on research to consider the nature of national testing and its multiple effects, including: - - media responses and constructions such as league tables of performance - - - pressures within school systems and on schools - - - effects on the work and identities of principals and teachers - - - and impacts on the experience of schooling for many young people, including those least advantaged. - Using Australia as the case site for global concerns regarding national testing, this book will be an invaluable companion for education researchers, teacher educators, teacher education students and teachers globally.
