Abstract

The issue of assessment in music education in the secondary school is one of concern in a range of contexts, including teaching, learning, accountability, policy, and politics. In order to investigate assessment in the secondary school, we need to begin by understanding what assessment is, what the terminologies involved mean, what the implications of assessment are for learners, teachers, program organizers, administrators, legislators, and other interested stakeholders, and what constitutes secondary school music.
In the course of this chapter we will consider the following issues in student assessment (program assessment is not considered):
• The context of assessment
• Uses and purposes of assessment • Legitimizing assessment
• Assessment and music pedagogy
