DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Professor Martin Fautley will describe a num
 ber of issues with assessment practices in education drawing on his resear
 ch in secondary schools. He will describe the ways in which the original p
 urposes of formative and summative assessment have become misunderstood by
  school assessment managers\, and how the emphasis on data collection has\
 , in many cases\, hindered the development in school music lessons of appr
 opriate music-learning and music-making activities during Key Stage 3. He 
 describes how music teachers\, who were once perceived to be in the vangua
 rd of appropriate formative assessment practice\, have had to change their
  assessment practices to meet the requirements of a system in which they h
 ave little personal investment\, and how the results from these assessment
 s are subject to intervention by school management teams.
