How Grades 1–7 Teachers Assess Mathematics and How They Use the Assessment Data

The purpose of this study was to explore mathematics assessment methods employed by teachers and ways teachers used assessment data. The sample for the study consisted of 398 mathematics teachers in Grades 1 to 7 in a state in Australia. The teachers completed a Likert‐scale survey. Using Scheffe pair‐wise comparisons and correlation coefficients to examine the relationships between grade level, use of assessment data, and use of assessment techniques, the researchers found several significant differences in teaching and assessment cultures across Grades 1 to 7.
