Specialist community public health nursing: Understanding and exploring assessment for learning

Seal, Joanne

Abstract

This article explores assessment ‘for’ learning (AfL), rather than focusing on accreditation or ‘of’ learning. AfL is a process of seeking and interpreting evidence, for use by both the learner and the teacher to inform future learning and development. Exploring assessment through a sociocultural lens provides an alternative in which practice teachers/educators can make sense of the assessment process and in doing so support specialist community public health nurses in their learning and development.
