Autorenporträt
What do IQ and ability tests really tell us?

Does testing used for accountability undermine learning?

This book argues that assessment shapes how we see ourselves and how we learn. At a time when people are labelled in terms of their ability, learning styles or achievement, the book takes a hard look at the rationale of these labels. It also shows how, in our test driven culture, assessment can often undermine effective learning by encouraging shallow 'for-the-test' learning and by treating test results as an end in themselves.

The author explores how we can develop assessments which generate deeper learning and which can play a constructive role in creating our identities as people and learners.

Examining the purposes and consequences of assessment, Testing Times critically examines high-profile uses such as:



  • IQ and ability testing


  • Multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence


  • Learning styles


  • Accountability testing and credential seeking


  • Formative assessment.




This accessible and provocative book will be of great interest to educational professionals, academics and researchers.
