Competency-based Assessment (häftad, eng)

This book is a practical, evidence-based guide for educators at all levels on how to assess and to promote student learning, broadening teachers’ understanding of assessment. Balancing assessment with the development and promotion of student learning can be a significant challenge for teachers.

This book provides the content, as well as practical guidance, to support educators to develop their understanding of assessment from task-driven, domain-bound content knowledge, towards the assessment of complex competencies.

Supported by research, but not overwhelmed by it, the book provides practical strategies that can be applied in the classroom. The pedagogical structure of the book encourages self-guided learning, with sections on foundational knowledge, ‘Taking it Further’ to provide a deeper theoretical engagement for those seeking it, ''Reflections'' to facilitate planning and goal setting, as well as quotes and vignettes from students and teachers highlighting their experiences of and perspectives on assessment.

This book is a great resource for practicing educators and postgraduate students who want to improve their understanding of assessment, implement it more effectively and support better outcomes for their students.
