Transition Mathematics Project

Assessment as Learning:
How do we know how well students understand and can use these concepts/skills?

• Lynn Arthur Steen: “Asking the Right Questions”
• Bernie Madison: “Tensions and Tethers: Assessing Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics”
• Dylan Wiliam—“Keeping Learning on Track: Formative Assessment and the Regulation of Learning” (for more info on the formal Keeping Learning on Track program, 800-480-3060, Educational Testing Service, 317 SW Alder, Suite 1200, Portland, Oregon 97204-2522)
• Balanced assessments (MARS work)—Alan Bell and Hugh Burkhardt, “Domain Frameworks in Mathematics and Problem Solving”
