Who: Charles Darwin University's education expert Dr Stephen Bolaji
Topics:
- This week well over a million Australia students sat the NAPLAN test with mixed feelings not just for the students, but also for education experts
- Standardised tests can gauge performance across different schools, regions, and demographics, but standardised tests may not fully capture the range of knowledge and skills that students have developed
- A different model of assessment that is more inclusive and culturally responsive is a better option, especially for Indigenous students.
- Standardised testing can be stressful for some students, particularly those who may struggle with test anxiety or who may not perform well on standardised tests for a variety of reasons.
