Critical Race Theory: Just an American row or important to us? WATCH HERE

This webinar considered what is meant by “Critical Race Theory” and its place in public and policy discourse in the USA and elsewhere. The  theoretical challenges of Critical Theory and Critical Race Theory; and its relevance for education, specifically educational assessment, were discussed.

What makes assessment fair? WATCH HERE

In January 2022, we welcomed Isabel Nisbet and Stuart Shaw who explored what fairness means and challenges to fair assessment (including the challenges from Covid). The seminar comprised three discussions: fair assessment in vocational contexts; fair selection for university; and, whether it is fair to make the future like the past.

In November 2021, students took centre stage and presented their research on assessment.  You can hear from Carl (MA Assessment), Kanayo (EdD in Assessment) and Tamara (PhD in Assessment) all talk about their research interests, experiences and what they love about assessment.

The EAG@IOE was founded in 2021. The group sits within the department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment within the IOE.

The EAG@IOE has three key, mutually dependent aims:

1. to conduct and promote research into educational assessment relating to subjects, curriculum and pedagogy and across all phases of education;
2. to seek external engagement and work with professional assessment organisations and with assessment experts to research, sustain, and develop good practice in assessment in education; and
3. to engage UCL IOE students (UG/PGT/Res) with an interest in educational assessment in teaching, learning, research and employment opportunities.

We officially launched the EAG@IOE on the 23rd June 2021 via a Zoom Seminar.  An audience of 86 joined us from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Oman and China – so great to have an international interest!

The EAG is directed by Dr Mary Richardson and Dr Catarina Correia – please contact us if you would like to join the group, or if you are interested in presenting assessment-related work.
