| Abstract: |
This second paper also takes up the issue of how teachers make judgments of primary students' writing. Once again, we examine the evidence base used by two teachers in their judgments, using qualitative techniques for mapping the inter-relationships among the indexes that teachers rely on to formulate judgments. Of special interest in this paper is how the teachers enacted judgments of student writing in the absence of knowledge about the institutional and pedagogical settings in which the writing had been produced, and also without knowledge of the student writer. The authors recommend that readers consider the discussion and findings offered in this paper in conjunction with paper one which precedes it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
