Course Content
During the course, you will use your own assessment to work on your assessment quality in a structured way. You do this on the basis of the assessment cycle in which you go through a number of phases: from the evaluation of your own assessment to the redevelopment of your assessment and the assessment of your student’s work. During the course, various theoretical models are provided to help you with this.
- You redesign assessment for your course in accordance with the assessment cycle, carrying out activities belonging to the different phases.
- You make a basic design for your assessment using motivated answers to the 5 basic questions of Stiggings (1999).
- You evaluate your assessment and formulate points of improvement for the quality of your assessment.
- You use an assessment matrix and, based on this, make a well-considered choice of assessment methods to assess the extent to which students have achieved the learning objectives.
- You use a specification table or an assignment specification form in order to make the structure of your assessment clear.
- You redesign your assessment with attention to both the formative and summative function of tests (including peer and self-feedback), so that students gain insight into their progress in relation to the learning objectives.
- You assess a student's assessment in a valid, reliable way based on an assessment model (assessment form/rubrics/answer model with scoring) so that you transparently justify how the assessment has been done.
