Why is it important?
This article is important because it provides evidence for the oft-quoted anecdotal belief that the Leaving Certificate is "all rote learning and memory recall." It is the most comprehensive analysis of the Leaving Certificate assessment to date.
Perspectives
The article is a valuable summary of the methodology and findings of the research study. It is timely as there is currently a review of the Leaving Certificate.
