A Brief Guide to Assessment Practices Among Teachers

By: Barthélémy, Véronique

Who hasn't felt devalued, humiliated, or unfairly graded at some point during their schooling? Indeed, numerous studies have shown the negative effects associated with teachers' assessment practices, such as fatigue or boredom, grade contamination, stereotyping, teachers being too lenient or too strict, the order in which papers are graded, and a lack of clarity... Furthermore, while Antibi refers to a "macabre constant," Hadji describes assessment in France as a "social calamity"-using such terms to draw attention to and raise awareness of the key issues at stake. Moreover, assessment is not always conducted appropriately, leading to difficulties when discussing it due to the multitude of perspectives and practices involved. This is why it is necessary to change these practices. In the latest back-to-school issue (2014), assessment takes center stage. According to this text, it serves the purpose of learning. However, methodological questions arise before any assessment takes place. In this textbook, we will therefore attempt to answer these questions.
