Abstract
This is the first time a chapter has been dedicated solely to assessment in MERGA's four yearly review. This fact, and the emerging status of assessment in Australia's educational research domain, dictates the structure and nature of the chapter. In previous reviews, assessment (as a process) was classified within student performance in the classroom and reflections on teachers' practices. Consequently, research about assessment was distributed across content chapters. However, we anticipate that such a chapter will have prominence in reviews to come. Indeed, Callingham's (2011b) keynote paper from the 34th annual MERGA conference argued for a need to re-assess mathematics assessment "and to reconsider the purpose, nature and use of assessment information" (p. 3). Hence, a chapter in this review is timely.
