Abstract
A preservice teacher writing in an examination paper about her experiences and work with pupils in her practicum reported a number of events connected to different theories belonging to that subject on assessment. These factual reports were followed by personal reflections. Metaphorically speaking this preservice teacher turned around and looked back on the journey just made. In reflecting on her experiences, she tried to see things in a different way, not only by assessing pupils learning but also through relating her teacher activity to pupil activity, discussing what is required of the teacher, particularly in terms of formative assessment.
