2. There are many different ways to assess student learning. In this section, we present the different types of assessment approaches available and the different frameworks to interpret your results. Direct measures of assessment require students to represent, produce or demonstrate their learning. Standardized instruments, student portfolios, capstone projects, student performances, case studies, embedded assessments and oral exams all provide direct evidence of student learning. Indirect measures capture information about students’ perceptions about their learning experiences and attitudes towards the learning process. Informal observations of student behavior, focus groups, alumni surveys, self-reports, curriculum and syllabi analysis, exit interviews, and evaluation of retention rates are some examples. Objective assessments such as short answer, completion, multiple-choice, true-false, and matching tests are structured tasks that limit responses to brief words or phrases, numbers or symbols, or selection of a single answer choice among a given number of alternatives. Objective assessments capture information about recall of factual knowledge and are less useful for assessing higher-order thinking due to their structured response format that allows for only one best answer. Performance assessments allow for more than one correct answer. They require students to respond to questions by selecting, organizing, creating, performing and presenting ideas.
3. Assessment necessary on credit bearing courses for adults? In order for students to gain grade points or credit as a result of their course of study, they must provide some form of evidence of learning that can be assessed by the tutor and an external examiner. Assessment also provides students with valuable feedback about their strengths and weaknesses which assists this learning and thereby sustains a sense of motivation and interest. Finally, tutors gain valuable evidence about any strengths and shortcomings of the course design or its delivery. Individuals’ participation in your course is voluntary so much will depend upon your ability to persuade students that the purpose of the assessment used on it is to guide their process of learning as an adult and provide them with the option of working towards a University award. You should try to ensure that students clearly understand why you suggest they attempt assessment and how results will be fed back to them as individuals. Where possible, it helps to allow students to negotiate some of the ground rules (e.g. the criteria for how a piece of work is to be assessed) but the decision as to whether or not to take part remains theirs. Please encourage your students to undertake assessment as far as you can. It is important to DACE that as many students as possible achieve a graded result at the end of the course. If they are hesitating, you can remind them of, and direct them to, the many sources of advice and support available. Note that students attending your class under the SFC fee-waiver scheme are obliged to undertake all assessed work. You may need to issue a general reminder to students of this.
