Upon reflecting on her experiences designing and running ScratchEd, Karen Brennan identified five tensions faced by professional development providers, and proposed that these tensions could be used for scrutinising and critiquing professional development. In this paper we analyse, through the lens of Brennan's tensions, the process we have followed to design, evaluate and improve professional development. We argue that while we have experienced the same tensions, the extent to which we assess learning is a new tension that extends those identified by Brennan. There are strong reasons to assess teachers' knowledge, however, quantitative measures of learning could be at odds with Constructionism: as Papert argued in Mindstorms, constructionist educators should study their learning environments as anthropologists. Consequently, we have called this new tension the tension between anthropology and assessment.]]> Fri 12 Jul 2019 09:32:19 AEST ]]> A study of a professional learning program for primary school teachers implementing the New South Wales science and technology syllabus https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37233 Fri 11 Sep 2020 13:34:40 AEST ]]>
