Episode description

For many years, assessment has shaped the way we learn and the way we teach. But, claims a top educational expert, the use of ‘labels’ in testing can make it a destructive process. Speaking at a recent forum ‘Testing and Identity’ hosted by the Cambridge Assessment Network, guest speaker Gordon Stobart – of the Institute of Education, University of London – delivered a thought-provoking talk that explored how the power of testing can determine how we think about ourselves and others, and how we learn.
