Programming and Assessment for Quality Teaching and Learning 1st Edition by Roy Killen
Quick Navigation

Overview

Programming and Assessment for Quality Teaching and Learning is written for teachers and trainers in all instructional settings in Australia. It is particularly useful for teacher-education students who are taking a first course in assessment, and also provides a sound foundation for post-graduate students.

The model of pedagogical practice referred to as Quality Teaching is used as a framework for this book. This approach to teaching was developed from the Productive Pedagogy model, which in turn has its roots in the Authentic Pedagogy movement. This book demonstrates how research-based principles of effective teaching (of which the Quality Teaching model is just one example) can be used as a strong foundation for developing learning programs and assessment practices that emphasise quality teaching and learning.

This is not a recipe book for writing particular types of questions, but rather emphasises the importance of teachers understanding the principles of learning and assessment. Teachers will discover how to use assessment to guide student learning rather than simply measure what has been learned. It challenges teachers to question traditional assessment practices and to develop new approaches that provide reliable evidence from which valid inferences can be drawn about the quality of students’ learning.

Roy Killen

Roy Killen was formerly an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of Newcastle, Australia, and an Extraordinary Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. He lectured in teacher education for 25 years, specialising in teaching strategies, assessment, curriculum development and reflective teaching. For approximately 10 years, he collaborated with South African lecturers and teachers to assist them to make the transition from content-based to outcomes-based teaching practices. He has worked closely with Australian teachers, including several years as Researcher in Residence at Callaghan College, Jesmond, NSW, to expand his understanding of the challenges facing teachers today. Prior to entering teacher education he had careers as an engineer and a TAFE teacher. He has continued his interest in vocational education by working with Registered Training Organisations and by co-authoring texts for training programs and for vocational courses in schools. He regularly presents educational programs for photography clubs, and judges local, national and international photographic competitions.
