Abstract

In the last few decades, teacher evaluation, and also the evaluation of prospective teachers, has developed from paper-and-pencil tests or standardized observations into assessment that is aimed at gaining a comprehensive picture of that the development of teachers' knowledge and performance. Examples of this new type of assessment are peer assessment, self-assessment, simulations, and portfolios. The assessment of prospective teachers is often learning-oriented in the sense that much emphasis is put on learning elements such as efficient feedback. The quality of assessment in teacher education, in general, has been a major point of discussion for many years. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
