Assessment and Learning places learning at the centre of our concerns and explicitly underscores the importance of assessment in that learning.

This new edition provides a comprehensive overview of assessment that is used to support learning, practice-based theory on assessment for learning, and formative assessment to support individual development and motivate learners.

With a strong list of existing and new contributors, this second edition has been updated to include the latest work on assessment. Readers will find research-informed insights from a wide variety of international contexts. It features:

- New chapters on e-assessment, the learner's perspective on assessment and learning and the influence of assessment on how we value learning

- Teacher-friendly assessment topics

- Practical examples and chapter summaries throughout

This book is useful to teacher educators and researchers on postgraduate courses in education, teaching, learning and assessment.

John Gardner is a professor of education at Queens University Belfast, and President of the British Educational Research Association.
