Abstract

This study examines the desirability and potential of incorporating more holistic methods of assessment in the school system. It examines the role of Indigenous knowledge and concepts and uses surveys to gauge attitudes towards change. The study recommends that assessment can and should be more holistic, and that meaningful changes can result in a more fulfilling educational experience for students.
