| Sumari: | Competency-based education is becoming ever more popular, but its assessment is not easy. Competencies are integrative in nature, so the challenge for the assessment is both to preserve this integration and still be rigorous enough for high stakes decisions. Rubrics and detailed scoring schemes fail to preserve the integration, and therefore human judgement is a necessary part of such assessment programmes. However, human judgement is vulnerable to judgement biases. This is the final report from the 'Better Judgement' project which designed, implemented and disseminated a training programme for assessors on how to recognise, prevent and counteract the influence of judgement biases on the assessment process. It is targeted at those assessors who are involved in oral- and practice-based assessment and focuses on two factors: Primacy Effect and Memory Errors of Commission. |
