Enhancing Summative Assessment And Pedagogy Of Senior Secondary Dance Education Through Digital Technologies, Maria Gamble, Nicola F. Johnson Jan 2025

Enhancing Summative Assessment And Pedagogy Of Senior Secondary Dance Education Through Digital Technologies, Maria Gamble, Nicola F. Johnson

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Despite advances in digital technology, summative assessment in the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) Dance syllabus remain shaped by historical structures and practices. This study explores how digital technologies might better support fair, valid, and reliable assessment in senior secondary dance education. Through semi-structured interviews with six Australian experts in ATAR Dance curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, the research highlights a shared interest in using technology to enhance learning and address assessment challenges. Participants acknowledged constraints imposed by traditional models but expressed openness to explore new possibilities and adapt to the current climate. The findings suggest that digital tools could foster …
