Description:
This insightful book establishes a new, democratic and participatory approach to assessment and evaluation in early childhood. By analysing the practice of assessment and evaluation within early childhood pedagogy, it provides a clear theoretical and methodological basis for this approach and a set of practical techniques for assessment & evaluation. Structured in three parts, the authors show how documentation and portfolios can be an ethical mode of conducting assessment and evaluation. Part three of this text will provide educational snapshots of countries that use a participatory approach to learning and teaching, and which include the pedagogical dimension of assessment and evaluation.
