Students in higher education today are expected to demonstrate a wide range of skills and abilities to show that they have mastered not only subject content but also the ability to put their learning into practice in real-life contexts. This book explores how university staff can assess live and practical skills fairly, effectively, efficiently and imaginatively.
Drawing on the expertise and experience of the authors and contributors through a wide range of international case studies, "Assessing Skills and Practice "provides theoretical perspectives on skills assessment. Topics discussed include:
- inclusive assessment - ensuring that all students achieve their maximum potential
- assessing across the arts, humanities and sciences - from lab work to dance
- the importance of involving all stakeholders (peers, employers, clients and tutors) in assessment
- how formative feedback helps students understand what is required of them
With pragmatic advice on implementation, " Assessing Skills and Practice" is ideal as an introduction for new or part-time lecturers, and students of PGCHE programmes. It will also be valued by experienced teachers new to this area of assessment or looking to improve their current practice, as well as course leaders, managers and those working on assessment related projects.
