Abstract
The surrealist artist, Magritte, painted a series of 'Ceci n'est pas' works (1928-9), suggesting that even through realism in art, the artist can only represent an image rather than the thing itself. In many ways assessment and research are like that. Both quantitative and qualitative data can only represent a snapshot of a students' learning rather the complexity of their actual learning.
期刊介绍:
The Dalhousie Review was founded in 1921 by its first editor, Herbert L. Stewart, Professor of Philosophy at Dalhousie University, and the journal has been in continuous operation since then. In a “Salutation” printed in the opening pages of the very first issue, Stewart described the new publication as a “journal of criticism,” and he went on to define its purpose in the following way: “It is by the free discussion of contemporary problems that knowledge regarding them is most widely diffused, and for this the magazine provides a medium.”
