The Problem of Assessment in Art and Design by Trevor Rayment

With its inevitable dependency on the essential, and often contested, nature of art, the subject of assessment or evaluation in art and design education remains a matter of continuing controversy. This collection of essays examines the principal issues as they relate to the main phases of formal education, from primary to post-compulsory. Together, the papers provide an historical and philosophical analysis of the present state of assessment in art and design in our schools and colleges, and significantly, they map out some possible directions for reform.

'The chapters provide an historical and philosophical analysis of the present state of assessment in art and design in England where assessment in art and design is considered to be essential, but where the assessment procedures are controversial and vehemently contestedWithout providing any practical, definitive answers the authors map out some possible directions for reform.'

-- Teresa Eça, Apecv, Portugal

Trevor Rayment is course leader for postgraduate certificate in education in art and design at the University of Reading, United Kingdom.
