Recenzje

"It is undoubtedly an accolade to be among the select few leading international academics chosen for inclusion in this World Library of Educationalists series. It suggests, rightly, that Mary E. James has made a world leading contribution in her chosen field of assessment and evaluation. … Readers who pick up this volume, whether they have lived through the turbulent years that James describes or who are relatively new to the fray, will recognise the message of this collection concerning what matters in educational research – quality, utility, accessibility and a fundamental desire to improve the business of learning. The collection is a fitting tribute to the contribution of a recent President of the British Educational Research Association. It is a tribute to what it and all educational research should stand for." - Patricia Broadfoot, Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol, UK, in The Curriculum Journal
