DESCRIPTION:What are the differences between a psychometric approach to as
 sessment\, found more commonly in the US\, and one that is embedded in a b
 roader view of curriculum aims and linked to teaching\, as in the UK? Coul
 d UK awarding bodies learn from a more ‘scientific’ approach in the de
 velopment of our examinations? Or could an over-reliance on standardised t
 esting principles lead to a reductive style of assessment which is in conf
 lict with the UK’s tradition?\n\nDate: 4 May\nTime: 10.30–12.00\nVenue
