Sažetak
The aim of the research was to compare the assessment methods of state schools and
those of some alternative schools and examine the opinions and estimates of teachers
on the possibility and need to implement assessment methods from some alternative
schools into state schools. The purpose of the paper is to enhance existing assessment
methods in state schools. The longitudinal research was carried out in five alternative
schools and in state schools in the city of Zagreb. Triangulation methodology was
applied. Seventeen participants were included in the qualitative phase of the research
carried out in 2011 while the sample in the quantitative phase of the research in 2018
comprised 159 participants. The first phase collected data using the case study and
interview, while a questionnaire – Assessment models and methods – was developed
for the second phase. The research did not show significant differences in opinions
between teachers regarding the same assessment methods seven years later. The results
show that teachers in alternative schools give a more positive estimate of the possibility
and need for implementation. The existing manner of assessment and evaluation in
state schools should be modernized with alternative methods such as the yearly report,
portfolio and Montessori materials
