Paper Abstract:
|
This paper reports on empirical research into formative assessment conducted in a blended learning environment within a
professional doctorate in education (EdD) programme. This was conceptualized within sociocultural learning theories,
where learning entails processes of identity formation. Very little empirical or theoretical work on formative assessment
has been done from this perspective. The data presented suggests the usefulness of online environments for supporting
students development of subject positions as researchers, constructing new relations between peers, as well as tutors and
students, in addition to providing shared textual resources upon which the tutors feedback can then build. The paper
discusses how this might contribute towards more collective forms of doctoral supervision. |
