Assessment is a critical aspect of higher education because it has
a range of powerful impacts on what staff and students do and how
universities operate. Underpinned by relevant theory and practical
advice this fully updated new edition takes into account the
changing expectation of students in the context of an increasingly
complex and shifting higher education environment to promote the
role of formative assessment and formative feedback and its impact
on shaping the student learning experience. Presented through the
lens of contemporary perspectives, empirical evidence, and case
studies across a broad range of subject disciplines, this new
edition aims to encourage teaching and support staff to focus on
the promotion of student learning through designing and embedding
high-impact formative assessment processes and activities. Key
content covers: the theoretical and philosophical aspects of
formative assessment and formative feedback; the learning
environment in which students undertake their learning activities,
helping teachers develop appropriate formative assessment and
provide effective formative feedback; the impact of formative
assessment and formative feedback activities have on learning,
teaching, and assessment design, as well as on the academic
workload of tutors; the contemporary issues and challenges
currently driving research into formative assessment; the use of
technology in formative assessment and how different tools and
technologies allow for the provision of effective and efficient
formative feedback; the benefits of understanding how students
respond to formative assessment and formative feedback as an
opportunity to review the effectiveness of the teaching and
learning methods and techniques; the integral role of formative
assessment and formative feedback plays in postgraduate research
settings; and how innovations in formative assessment and feedback
inform key developments in large-scale assessment change. Aimed at
both experienced and early career practitioners in higher
education, this text is ideal reading for educators who wish to see
a movement away from a higher education system driven by summative
assessment to one where a more holistic approach to education
positions learning standards rather than measurement and grades as
central to effective assessment and, crucially, to return to a
focus on student learners.
