How can assessment support learning?

What do people mean when they claim that summative assessment ‘damages learning’? And what are the arguments of groups which champion greater reliance on ‘Assessment for Learning’?


What do people mean when they claim that summative assessment ‘damages learning’? And what are the arguments of groups which champion greater reliance on ‘Assessment for Learning’? Is it possible to say that some assessment regimes support learning better than others? And if that is so, is it mainly a matter of getting summative assessment over and done with as quickly and painlessly as possible? Or is there more to say about the positive effect of examinations and external assessments on learning?
