Assessment and Reporting
Research Director: Dr Margaret Forster
The Assessment and Reporting program undertakes research and development in relation to methods of assessment, including the exploration of new approaches to assessment in traditional curriculum areas, the development of assessment materials in curriculum areas where there are relatively few materials available, and the development of innovative methods for assessing cross-curricular competencies.
The program also undertakes research into effective ways of reporting student achievement and develops reports for a range of purposes and audiences. The work undertaken in this program includes the support of classroom teaching and learning through formative and diagnostic assessments. The Assessment and Reporting program also develops norms for educational and psychological tests, and provides professional advice and training in educational assessment and measurement.
