Recenzii
This is a most welcome and timely volume that succeeds in developing an alternative approach to assessment, one that is not based on narrow definitions of performance, but one that centers on relational qualities of collaboration that lie at the heart of all good education. This is a volume written from the heart as well as the mind!
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on education around the world has created an opportunity to reimage schools as communities of leaners and teachers dedicated to the co-construction of meaning assisted by advances in communications technologies. This volume is a must read for anyone interested in addressing this crisis through a relational vision that places human flourishing at the heart of evaluating learning and teaching.
Fully inclusive and equitable learning communities can flourish only when attention and care is given to nurture the relational process at the heart of education in general, and especially in its evaluation dimensions. With this new focus in mind and at heart, Gergen and Gill provide an innovative theoretical foundation essential for building more inclusive and equitable societies globally.
This is a most timely and important book. Timely because we now recognize the damage done to our educational vision and practice by the recent obsession with testing and accountability measures. This book is a justification for a different lens and one which does not polarise learning and relating but shows the deep connection between them and how they enhance each other. It also embeds the argument in strong illustrative evidence. Very important!
Beyond the Tyranny of Testing demonstrates how evaluation of students, teachers, and schools can be done in an inclusive and relational manner that engages all members of the school community. It is a most timely book as educators are seeking alternatives to mechanistic and standardized forms of evaluation.
This book pulls together a wealth of tried-and-tested alternatives to high-stakes testing that chart a clear course towards a fairer, more life-affirming education system that enables young people to locate themselves in a story of interbeing, rather than one of separation. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
In their fascinating book, Gergen and Gill share their relational vision of education. They provide a range of innovative relational practices of educational evaluation in primary and secondary classrooms, as part of teachers professional development, and of the entire school, unveiling the potential for the transformation of the learning process.
If you are concerned about education, read Beyond the Tyranny of Testing: Relational Evaluation in Education. Gergen and Gill's masterful treatise calls for a systematic transformation in education. Gergen and Gill point you toward a path that will help you become both the educator you want to be and the participatory leader every school and community needs in working with others to bring about the schools we desire.
In a world where testing has become a purpose of education in itself, Beyond the Tyranny of Testing argues in favour of a Copernican revolution in education: Social relations should be seen as central, not as a by-product of measurement regimes. With a focus on collaborative inquiry, this important, well-written and much-needed book proposes concrete evaluative practices for everyone in the educational system to see themselves as parts of this transformation.
Gergen and Gill have provided us with a radically different way of thinking about education as a whole. Building on the idea that education is ultimately a relational process, they redefine what education is about, and develop a framework for educational evaluation from a relational perspective, with implications for pedagogical and curriculum transformation. A splendid book!
This book is of great importance to education, as it makes a fundamental contribution to the dialogue on the role of evaluation in education. From a relational standpoint it invites new possibilities, including transforming students and teachers into learning partners. A must read for both educators and educational leaders!
Beyond the Tyranny of Testing has the potential to revolutionize education, and I am convinced that it is most timely for such a revolution to happen. This book can heal the trauma suffered by learners and educators under the system of traditional assessment, and bring new hope to the world.
What is the alternative to high stakes tests and top-down accountability measures that tell us very little about the quality of a student, teacher, or school? Gergen and Gill offer a provocative answer: relational accountability rooted in collaborative inquiry. Beyond the Tyranny of Testing is full of exciting ideas that have the potential to transform education.
