Teachers’ Assessment Practices

Abstract

This chapter is based on my doctoral thesis Navigare necesse est—Necessities and complexities regarding teachers’ assessment practices—which is grounded in my prior experience as a teacher of elementary science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. It focuses on teachers’ assessment practices in primary and lower secondary technology education and contributes to the fields of technology education and educational assessment. In this chapter, I summarize my findings and describe methods of providing affordance for teachers’ assessment practices to bridge teaching and learning in technology education.
