Conclusion
Throughout this chapter, the importance of assessment for pedagogical design, along with its need to be constructively aligned was explored. In addition, feedback and critically discussed authentic assessment play a role in helping to curb academic dishonesty. Further, assessment for educators will continue to be significant, considering the field of education is consistently changing.
These are the learning objectives of this chapter:
- Assessment is the ability to gather information about learners to understand their competencies. In a modern classroom, it must be levied together with the content to determine effectiveness.
- Forethought, performance, and self-reflection are introduced so that feedback is guided. Improvement is active, logical, and is done through a reciprocal process.
- Actionable reflection and construction lead to mastery of self-aware learning and are important to the learning process.
- Authentic assessment can provide a measure of control when aligned with effective learning outcomes and can reduce academic dishonesty.
