【课程简介】
In this talk Professor West will consider student assessment, and its role in increasing student performance. Drawing on the seminal work of Black and Wiliam (2001) he will argue that research findings tell us that purposeful use of assessment is one of the most potent strategies available to teachers, but that throughout education systems, and particularly in higher education environments, its potential has been largely overlooked. He will report current thinking on best assessment practice, and describe the purposes and roles played by different assessment regimes.
Of course, varying assessment practices within the formal and generally rigid examination structures of most HE contexts is not easy. Nevertheless, he will suggest that so long as we see assessment primarily as a mechanism for classifying students rather than an intrinsic part of teaching and learning, we will continue to miss important opportunities to enhance learning quality.
