Conditions Under Which Assessment Supports Students’ Learning

ABSTRACT



Much evaluation of teaching focuses on what teachers do in class. This article focuses on the evaluation of assessment arrangements and the way they affect student learning out of class. It is assumed that assessment has an overwhelming influence on what, how and how much students study. The article proposes a set of ‘conditions under which assessment supports learning’ and justifies these with reference to theory, empirical evidence and practical experience. These conditions are offered as a framework for teachers to review the effectiveness of their own assessment practice.

Another question

My Research Question

To what extent can the series of Wiki-based e-tivities enhance students’ active and participative online learning resulting in the overall improvement of their development of academic writing skills?
