This book examines the challenges of cross-professional comparisons
and proposes new forms of performance assessment to be used in
professions education. It addresses how complex issues are learned
and assessed across and within different disciplines and
professions in order to move the process of "performance assessment
for learning" to the next level. In order to be better equipped to
cope with increasing complexity, change and diversity in
professional education and performance assessment, administrators
and educators will engage in crucial systems thinking. The main
question discussed by the book is how the required competence in
the performance of students can be assessed during their
professional education at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
To answer this question, the book identifies unresolved issues and
clarifies conceptual elements for performance assessment. It
reviews the development of constructs that cross disciplines and
professions such as critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and
problem solving. It discusses what it means to instruct and assess
students within their own domain of study and across various roles
in multiple contexts, but also what it means to instruct and assess
students across domains of study in order to judge integration and
transfer of learning outcomes. Finally, the book examines what it
takes for administrators and educators to develop competence in
assessment, such as reliably judging student work in relation to
criteria from multiple sources. "... the co-editors of this volume,
Marcia Mentkowski and Paul F. Wimmers, are associated with two
institutions whose characters are so intimately associated with the
insight that assessment must be integrated with curriculum and
instructional program if it is to become a powerful influence on
the educational process ..." Lee Shulman, Stanford University
