  • Kathleen Tattersall's Speech

    Kathleen Tattersall's Speech

    "The Relationship of Examination Boards with Schools and Colleges: a historical perspective", Cambridge June 2008 My background I dub myself a historian but in reality I am not one for looking back, at least in my career which I began as a teacher: I taught in three schools: grammar, primary and comprehensive before joining an examination board. It's ironic that one of the motivations for my leaving a grammar school and moving into primary education was the oppressive nature of the examinations system and its impact on teaching and the curriculum. No escape these days! I found in a primary school all my faults and limitations as a teacher and moved back into my comfort zone – teaching history, as Head of Department in a newly developing comprehensive school where not just GCE O and A levels were on offer but CSE too. That was my first encounter with an examination intended – to paraphrase the 1958 Beloe Report - for the 20% of the ability range below the 20% of whom GCE O-level was designed. For the first time I assessed my students' course work with, as I recall, - but memory may do a disservice to the Board in question – very little guidance as to what I should be doing, let alone guidance on standards. What I well remember, however, is my first visitation from a course work moderator and the anxieties that provoked. Given that potted history of my teaching career of 7 and a half years, you could say that it is surprising that it ended with my move to an examination board – a CSE Board, the first of the five boards that I worked for in the next 30 years.

    2 a Brief History of Policies, Practices and Issues

    QCAChap2CB:QCAchap2CB 11/12/2007 17:16 Page 43 Techniques for monitoring the comparability of examination standards, edited by: Paul Newton, Jo-Anne Baird, Harvey Goldstein, Helen Patrick and Peter Tymms 2 A BRIEF HISTORY OF POLICIES, PRACTICES AND ISSUES RELATING TO COMPARABILITY Kathleen Tattersall Abstract This chapter which describes developments in education and assessment in England from the mid 19th century to the present day is in three parts: 1. the emergence of a ‘national system’ (the 1850s to the end of the Second World War) 2. the development and expansion of the system (1945 to the 1990s) 3. the emergence of a regulated system from the 1990s onwards. The role of comparability at each stage of these developments is highlighted. 1 An emerging national system of education and examinations 1.1 Overview Comparability is a fundamental requirement of England’s assessment system: between providers of the same product, qualifications, subjects, the demands of tests and tasks, between assessor judgements of students’ work and across time. Comparability is also an essential element of England’s accountability methodology and is expected to guarantee to governments, the general public, students and selectors that assessment is fair, equitable and reliable. Without assurances of equivalence between different instruments and outcomes that are used to make selections for jobs or a university place or to aid future learning, the basis of decision- making is flawed. The more intense the competition for work, places on courses or financial reward, the more intense is the pressure on the assessment system to demonstrate the steps taken to assure comparability.
