Summary Note
"The results of this study confirm the overall findings of the Literature Review (Polesel, Dulfer & Turnbull 2012) and the survey of teachers (Dulfer, Polesel & Rice 2012) that NAPLAN is a significant pedagogical intervention which has some positive uses, but is plagued by negative impacts on learning and on student well-being. While it may provide a diagnostic tool for some teachers to re-evaluate their approach and how they teach literacy and/or numeracy, there is a disconnect between the formal and inflexible style of NAPLAN and learning and teaching approaches that emphasise deep learning supported by student and teacher teamwork in a process that tailors learning to the student’s needs. Resignation to NAPLAN was one of the most common responses by teachers and school Principals. NAPLAN is (a) not universally regarded by educators as a useful tool and (b) has identifiable negative implications for the quality of education that children and young people experience in Australian schools. This undermines its explicit purpose of improving the quality of Australian education, and contradicts the goals of Australian education, as defined in the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians and relevant policy commitments (MCEETYA 2008). While Australian educational policies and laws do not explicitly refer to the notion of acting ‘in the best interests of children’ and young people, it would be expected that accountability reforms would address the best interests of children. We conclude that NAPLAN is not in the best interests of young Australians." - p. 6.
