Description:
53 interesting ways to assess your students offers reflective practitioners in professional and higher education practical ways to develop broad, flexible assessment repertoires. The 53 suggestions are designed to support both assessment of learning and assessment for learning. Topics include written tasks, examinations, problem-based activities, live and authentic forms of assessment, assessment over different timescales, interpersonal aspects – such as group work, student involvement, and feedback – and quality assurance. The book is an accessible introduction to a range of assessment strategies. Although its suggestions draw on educational theories and empirical evidence, this is not its focus; instead, the contributors provide simple descriptions of a variety of approaches, along with brief rationales and practical advice for their use. For those new to assessment, the book clarifies the (usually unwritten) considerations, and helps make informed choices about task-setting. More experienced staff will find a wealth of ideas to adapt and extend their practice, along with information to help justify and implement their choices. The book will also help those responsible for whole academic programmes design an effective, varied, and progressive portfolio of tasks. It would also be a useful aid for staff training or collaborative discussions. 53 interesting ways to assess your students is a revised and updated edition with new contributions and contributors: the original authors were Graham Gibbs, Sue Habeshaw, and Trevor Habeshaw.
