A poster presentation from the 2010 Students as Stakeholders conference.
The main reason for undertaking this study is to encourage student teachers to use active and creative assessment strategies more effectively in KS2 and KS3 Maths and Science classrooms. The data analysis will demonstrate the impact on current ITET students - are they ready to step up to the challenge in their next teaching practice?
The research method involved:
- Stakeholder questionnaires which were analysed partially with a software package
- Semi-structured group interviews of a small sample of stakeholders
- Analysis of stakeholders' assignments – to identify how many stakeholders had referenced the author/new strategy
- Two interviews with colleagues
- Interview with author of the 'active assessment' concept
