The power of assessment: What (dis)empowers students in their EFL assessment in a Finnish upper secondary school?
2017
Assessment wields a great deal of power over students. Yet, there is little research on how students, either in general or as individuals, experience assessment.

The study utilises mixed methods: primarily, the questionnaire data was analysed quantitatively (principal component analysis, step-wise regression analysis), secondarily, qualitative data and analysis were also used. The analyses showed that students reacted to assessment in highly individual ways. Wh…

This framework is the starting point of the Su.Per. project (Success in educational pathways of students with immigrant background), based on the collection of written autobiographies of 65 imm…
