- Summary:
- "Formative Assessment in Lifelong Learning: Learner Autonomy in a Risk Society" is a stimulating look at how different assessment practices affect learner autonomy in post-compulsory education. Recent education policy emphasizes inclusiveness and autonomy for learners - a goal which relies upon extending the use of outcome based assessment (OBA) across further, adult and higher education. While OBA democratizes the assessment process, making teachers and institutions more accountable to learners and encouraging partnerships between teachers and learners, there are social, practical and epistemological barriers to its implementation.
