Description
Assessment in higher education has a profound impact on students' learning. This book explores how assessment shapes student outcomes and argues that it should be seen as an act of informing judgement. By examining the role of assessment, Boud and Falchikov propose a new approach to integrating teaching, learning, and assessment to better prepare students for lifelong learning. The authors' central argument is that assessment has more influence on students' learning than teaching itself. This book provides essential insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in higher education institutions worldwide. It offers a fresh perspective on the purpose and practice of assessment, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve student outcomes. By understanding how assessment works, educators can create a more effective learning environment that supports students' long-term success.
