TITLE OF PRESENTATION:
Toward a Theory of Classroom Assessment as the Regulation of Learning

–>

Research and theory on self-regulated learning and classroom assessment emphasize very similar regulatory goals and processes, including goal setting, monitoring progress toward the goal, interpretation of feedback derived from monitoring, and adjustment of goal-directed action including, perhaps, redefining the goal itself (Allal, 2010). According to Wiliam (2010), this conception of assessment as regulation is common in Francophone countries, where the central concept is summarized as ‘‘feedback + adaptation’’ (Allal & Lopez, 2005). Yet there is no comprehensive, parsimonious theory of classroom assessment as the regulation of learning. In this presentation I will make a claim that classroom assessment is, in essence, the regulation of learning, and support that claim with evidence from the theoretical and research scholarship on assessment and self-regulated learning.
