An Ethnographic Approach to Assessment and Evaluation in Early Childhood Education.

Chapman, Marilyn L.

Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v6 n2 p165-71 May 1997

Discusses how key ideas from ethnography can be translated into principles that can guide assessment and evaluation in early-childhood-education settings. Notes that when ethnographic principles are used in education settings, assessment and evaluation are integrated with teaching and learning, are interrelated, reciprocal processes, and are used to promote learning.
