J. Post, C. E. Oenema-Mostert and A. E. M. G. Minnaert Year 2020 Journal title Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice Volume 27 Issue number 1 Pages 87-108 3. Paraphrase the following excerpted sentences from the source text: Sentence no. Original sentence a. Standardised tests play an important role in early childhood education in many countries. Although teachers’ conceptions largely determine whether and how these instruments are used, research on this topic is scarce. b. To examine teachers’ conceptions of standardised testing and aspects that may influence these conceptions, Brown’s CoA-III-A questionnaire was distributed to 97 early childhood educators. c. Analyses of the questionnaire and the interviews indicated that the teachers did not see standardised tests solely as instruments for accountability or improvement. d. Because multiple interviews were conducted, the interviewer had more time to build rapport with the participants, and both parties had the opportunity to revisit and further explore topics from the previous interview. e. Teachers were asked to elaborate on any answers that they had given in the previous interview that were unclear or incomplete. f. After analysing the questionnaires, teachers with varying conceptions were contacted for participation in the interviews. Participation was voluntary, and no specific details about their questionnaire responses were given until the end of the last interview. g. The first conception concerns the notion that others will use the test as a means of double-checking the teacher’s work, such that the test could exert pressure on a teacher’s professional identity and sense of freedom in teaching. h. A second conception in this cluster is that the test is not suitable for young children, either because the form in which children are tested (e.g., 2D paper, multiple choice) feels disconnected from the daily curricular activity or because the test is perceived as being too difficult. 4.
