Abstract

According to research, teachers can and do hold multiple beliefs about assessment, which can be classified into two general categories distinguished by the major purposes of assessment. The beliefs of twenty-three pre-service and thirty-three in-service Pacific Island teachers were explored using seven open-ended items. Findings indicate that a majority of each group explicitly prefers formative assessments. Recommendations suggest exploration of teacher beliefs using novel methodologies within various cultural contexts, including exploring the possible alignment of beliefs and practices.
