Integrating new assessment strategies into mathematics classrooms: What have we learned from a CRPP mathematics assessment project?

A major research project on mathematics assessment has been carried out by the Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice (CRPP), National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University. The project involves more than 30 classes from eight primary and eight secondary schools in Singapore and the intervention is implemented over three semesters: in Primary 3 to Primary 4 and Secondary 1 to Secondary 2. In this paper, we will first give an overview of the project, including its aims, conceptual framework, research methodology and instruments, the implementation process and then share initial findings we have obtained, issues encountered and experiences we have learned from the project.
