At many universities, the discussion has begun to move away from teacher-centered education to student-centered learning. The rationale behind this is it matters more what the students learn than what the instructor teaches. To that end, the authors of this book suggest that altering the way we view education necessitates an altered view of assessment. Assessment under the new paradigm is centered on learning outcomes - things the students are to know or be able to do by the end of a semester rather than on content covered by the instructor. Measuring learning goes deeper than measuring what was taught. This book takes a look at rubrics, portfolio assessment, feedback, Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs), assessment of critical thinking and much more. Specific examples are provided for multiple disciplines. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses integrates current thinking and research regarding the learning of undergraduate students with principles of best practice in assessment and teaching. The book will help readers see the connection among three powerful trends in higher education today: the focus on learning and learners, the emphasis on the assessment of learning, and the need to continually improve what those in higher education do. Grounded in principles of constructivist learning theory and continuous improvement, the book provides opportunities for readers to make connections with what they already know about assessment, integrate new information with their current knowledge, and try new approaches to enhance the learning of their students. Readers will consider what it means to shift from a teacher-centered paradigm of instruction to a learner-centered paradigm. The book offers practical approaches to help formulate intended learning outcomes, gather feedback from students to guide instruction, and develop scoring criteria for guiding and evaluating student work. Readers will learn how to assess students' ability to think critically, address enduring and emerging issues and problems in their disciplines, and use portfolios to promote and evaluate student learning. Numerous questions to guide implementation, as well as examples from a variety of disciplines and institutions are provided. For higher education administrators or those in faculty development.
