THE REPERTORY GRID TECHNIQUE Making Tacit Knowledge Explicit: Assessing Creative work and Problem

By describing a not so known method of interview, Repertory Grid Technique, the author shows how to elicit underlying, often tacit criteria's that professional teachers use when they assess creative work. It seems plausible that these criteria’s can be used to enhance the student's development from a novice to an expert. Some of these criteria may have an universal value for the development of skill and creativity in school subjects other than Technology, Art and Craft. The results of further studies also indicate a progression of teachers assessing skills.
