Assessment for Learning

The research indicates that improving learning through assessment depends on five, deceptively simple, key factors:

· the provision of effective feedback to pupils;

· the active involvement of pupils in their own learning;

· adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment;

· a recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of pupils,

· the need for pupils to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve.
