Teachers’ classroom assessment practices tend to encourage rote learning instead of meaningful learning. To enhance teachers’ classroom assessment practices, teacher involvement in assessment construction appears necessary. To foster teacher professional growth in relation to this issue, a professional development programme on summative assessment and meaningful learning in pre-vocational geography education in the Netherlands was designed. In 2016, a prototype of the programme was tested and evaluated in a small-scale case study. The results suggest that the programme was feasible and practical and contributed to change in teachers’ knowledge, skills and practices.

Negative Side

This article presents the image of Hinduism and Buddhism as presented in textbooks that are generally used in the Netherlands for secondary education. In general, we observe that where Hinduism is imagined, the presentation tends to be on the negative side. Hinduism is above all associated with the unchanging caste-system and with the repression of women. The image of Buddhism tends to be much more positive. Often Buddhism is not seen as a religion, but rather as an ideal philosophy or way of life that is considered to be in accordance with modern science. Moreover, Buddhism is often seen as ‘rational’, and ‘modern’.
