A MEASURE OF LEARNING? What can tests measure and what cant they measure? What is most worth measuring? What can we deduce from aggregated data and what is its value? Is age of student a good basis for making comparisons? When is an outcome an outcome? How much are measures sensitive to context time, place, relationship, mood, motivation? Does learning follow a smooth sequential path or is a more erratic process? What are the effects of testing on learning? What are the social and peer group effects on learning? Who gets the credit for what students learn?

Learning is most effective when:
it has a purpose for the learner there is a goal, end point or target to be achieved the goal is set, understood, or owned by the learner herself it is seen as worth investing effort in it is neither too ambitious to be worth investing effort in, nor so unambitious that it can be achieved without effort (the zone of proximal development)
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT LEARNING
-
But also
when it is spontaneous and surprising when it sets off for one goal but achieves another when it asks critical questions of its own premises
-
INTELLIGENCE DEFINEDIntelligence is knowing what to do when you dont know what to do(Jean Piaget)
