What Do We Mean When We Address the Concept of "Assessment Cultures"?

Fri, April 22, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Division Virtual Rooms, Division H - Section 3: Assessment in Schools Virtual Paper Session Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The concept of “assessment cultures” has been used for at least three decades in a variety of contexts. In education, and more specifically in the assessment field, numerous studies address it in order to better understand its role at different levels (teachers’ practices, policies or research). However, it has no clear definition either (Alarcon & Lawn, 2018). The purpose of this symposium is to enrich the debate by proposing several theoretical approaches of the concept, coming from different and contrasted educational contexts (Norway, Switzerland, the United States and Australia). New issues and theoretical perspectives will thus be debated.
