A review of contemporary trends in Higher Education assessment


Abstract


Assessment is of high importance and contributes significantly to student learning, especially when it is designed to be fit-for-purpose, authentic and focused on integrating assessment with learning (commonly termed ‘assessment for learning’). Drawing on international good practice, this article proposes twelve current assessment trends and ten principles for assuring good practice, while recognising that this is an ever changing field which will continue to challenge academics involved in assessment.

Keywords


assessment; fit-for-purpose assessment; technologies for assessment; international diversity in assessment; inclusive assessment
