| Zusammenfassung: | Final report of a Senior Fellowship at the University of Technology Sydney. This program focused on the issue of how assessment can enhance learning in and after courses. This purpose of assessment is particularly important as discussions of student assessment are often dominated by the, quite legitimate, needs of certification. However, if assessment does not act to promote students studying in desired ways, it can undermine the entire educational enterprise. An emphasis on the role of assessment in enhancing learning beyond the end of courses was included to ensure that assessment does not only focus on immediate achievement but on building the capacity of students to act well in the future. This Senior Fellowship identified the need to translate what is known by scholars of assessment into forms that were more widely accessible to all staff in Australian higher education institutions. The program therefore linked international research on how assessment can have a beneficial influence on student learning with Australian policy and practice. |
