Introduction
Assessment for Learning (AfL) is referred to ubiquitously in Singaporean classrooms, but its meanings, implications and applications in schools and wider workplace learning contexts are less clear. This course gives an overview of the discourse of AfL and formative assessment, against its varied and different theoretical constructions from Anglophone countries (e.g. USA and UK), before examining regional case studies from more recent times. Through group discussions and examples of current practices, participants are guided to critically examine and interact with their perceptions and practices of AfL, permeating day-to-day classroom work.
