📢 New publication (from last month, yes, but still!) A scoping review of research on assessment in Ireland’s Leaving Certificate (1999–2024)! 📚 With the LC's centenary approaching, now is the perfect time to take stock of the empirical research on LC assessment. 🧵👇1/11

Picture of the paper's abstract which reads:

Post-primary students in Ireland are awarded the Leaving Certificate after passing the required assessments that occur inthe final year of senior-cycle education. While planned changeshave introduced incremental adjustments as to how assessment in this state-certified qualification is undertaken, recent unplanned events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated discussions on future assessment reforms. As we arrive at the centenary of the Leaving Certificate’s foundation, it seems timelyto review the empirical research that has been conducted on the assessment approaches that it currently uses. Taking the publication of the Commission on the Points System in 1999 as a starting point and using Arksey and O’Malley’s. (2005) six-step approach for scoping reviews, 107 publications up to 2024 were included in this study. Analysis and synthesis of the studies resulted in five broad research topics: Curriculum Development and Assessment Reform, Maths and Science Education, Fairness, Transition to Higher Education, and Emergency Measures. The results of this study highlight past researchand policy priorities as well as gaps within the existing literature. Itis hoped that the freely available database arising from this study will help to inform future research and policy agendas pertaining to Leaving Certificate assessment.

The abstract's title is: Back to the future? Reflections from 25 years of empirical research on Leaving Certificate assessment in Ireland.

It was written by Paula Lehane, Gillian O'Connor and Michael O'Leary
