In this event Jan will explain how testing is best understood as an integral feature of ordinary cooperative interaction, and should not be isolated from that interaction to serve the legitimisation of decisions.
This event will be particularly useful for philosophers of education, educational policy makers, classroom practitioners and those interested in testing.
