3 Key issue 3: How do we promote assessment for learning?

You can experience this free course as it was originally designed on OpenLearn, the home of free learning from The Open University – www.open.edu/ openlearn/ education/ assessment-secondary-music/ content-section-0 [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]

Black et al. (2003) identify four main ways in which assessment for learning can be promoted:

  • through questioning
  • through feedback
  • through sharing criteria
  • through self and peer assessment.

You will explore each of these in turn and then briefly examine the importance of talking with young people about their assessment and their music-making.
