Abstract

“Classroom Assessment” (CA in short hereinafter) is regarded as a kind of typical formative assessment and an assessment for learning. Since CA was proposed in 1986, it has changed from focusing on standardized examinations to more attention to teachers’ CA practices. Nowadays, the exploration of the seamless integration between the assessment and the teaching has developed into a hot issue for researchers at home and abroad, aiming to bring all potentialities of CA into play.This thesis focuses on presenting a bird-eye picture of Classroom Assessment Researches (CAR in short) abroad through elaborating the history, the development and new characters of CAR. The thesis consists of the originality, main approaches and prominent findings in the research field with the aim of providing a profound theoretic and practical basis for further CAR, such as the research concerning the integration of three factors as “teaching, learning and assessment”.
