Summary:This study explored the WALK approach to assessing constructivist learning in mathematics. The study investigated the influence of three factors, namely, elective of study, ability in mathematics and attitude towards mathematics on the performance of Secondary Four Express Course students in the WALK Assessment. The performance of the students in the WALK Assessment was based on their ability to pose, formulate and solve problems. In addition to that, the relationships among the WALK Assessment tasks: problem posing, problem formulating and problem solving were also examined.
