Abstract:
If knowledge is a sort of doing, an engagement between a knowing subject and what is known (Gill 1993); if learning is a contextualized performance involving students engaging with prospective and current social identities, and therefore an ontological as well as an epistemological accomplishment; if the differential risk that this involves is acknowledged; then formative assessment might be more than the activities prescribed by ‘assessment for learning’. This session draws on over a decade of research in school and university to explore what this more might be.
