DESCRIPTION:There has been a tendency in some circles to suggest that summ
 ative assessment actually damages learning. What is meant by this? And wha
 t are the arguments of groups which champion greater reliance on ‘Assess
 ment for Learning’? Is it possible to say that some assessment regimes s
 upport learning better than others? And if that is so\, is it mainly a mat
 ter of getting summative assessment over and done with as quickly and pain
 lessly as possible? Or is there more to say about the positive effect of e
 xaminations and external assessments on learning?
