Abstract
In 1976, A F Chalmers first published a book
intriguingly titled ‘What is this thing called
Science’. In that book, he attempted to introduce
to readers modern views about the nature
of science. As Chalmers explained aspects of
scientific thinking such as experimentation,
falsification, Kuhn’s paradigm and the Bayesian
approach, it became evident very quickly that the
nature of enquiry into “scientific” knowledge is, if
anything, singularly complex. We find ourselves
in quite the same boat when we begin to unpack
this thing called “Assessment” – singularly
complex and often reduced to a singular notion.
