Assessment is a value-laden activity surrounded by debates about
academic standards, preparing students for employment, measuring
quality and providing incentives. There is substantial evidence
that assessment, rather than teaching, has the major influence on
students' learning. It directs attention to what is important and
acts as an incentive for study.
This book revisits assessment in higher education, examining it
from the point of view of what assessment does and can do and
argues that assessment should be seen as an act of informing
judgement and proposes a way of integrating teaching, learning and
assessment to better prepare students for a lifetime of learning.
It is essential reading for practitioners and policy makers in
higher education institutions in different countries, as well as
for educational development and institutional research
practitioners.
