Focussing on assessment: strategies for off-job teachers and trainers

This book is written to assist teachers and trainers in vocational education and training who are delivering training either in formal institutional settings or in training rooms away from the day-to-day productive work environment. The idea is for the reader to focus on the important components of assessment and consider the possibilities. The book is presented in four parts: the first looks at the key elements of assessment; the second emphasises planning, management and evaluation as essential elements of assessment and offers some suggestions which teachers and trainers may consider in the development of their own assessment strategies; the third part looks at a range of assessment methods which can be used for assessing skills and knowledge; the final section addresses those issues associated with assessment which remain matters of considerable discussion and debate.
