The Problem of Assessment in Art & Design
Edited by Trevor Rayment
With its inevitable dependency on the essential, and often contested, nature of art, the subject of assessment or evaluation in art and design education remains a matter of continuing controversy. This collection of essays examines the principal issues as they relate to the main phases of formal education, from primary to post-compulsory.

Reviews
'Provides an historical and philosophical analysis of the present state of assessment of art and design in England where assessment in art and design is considered to be essential, but where the assessment procedures are controversial and vehemently contested... the authors map out some possible directions for reform.' – Teresa Eca, Apecv, Portugal
'An excellent overview of assessment practices that students encounter prior to entering an HEI, and therefore would be of use to anyone who works with first year students, to gain a better understanding of their prior assessment experiences and therefore expectations. All chapters are written in a lively and engaging manner, giving an indication of the 'political' debates in their area.' – Dr Christine Hardy, The Higher Education Academy Website: Art, Design, Media Subject Centre
