Panizzon, Debra; Pegg, John; Arthur, Dagmar; McCloughan, Gerry – Australian Journal of Education, 2021
Few would argue the value of learning progressions in providing useful structures for selecting and sequencing in a developmental manner the key components of an 'intended curriculum'. Yet, there are pervading issues around what is meant by a developmental sequence, along with how they are used to assess what learners know, understand and can do.…
