Reviews / Votes
'This is a very exciting book and should be read widely by anyone who wants a better understanding of the role of assessment in the diverse, globalised, digital societies of the 21st century. Adopting a sociocultural perspective, it moves on from obsessions with measurement, to examine much deeper issues about quality, human judgement, ethics, and negotiated agreement'- Professor Mary James, Univeristy of Cambridge Faculty of Education, President, British Educational Research Association
