Description
How
do rubrics, portfolios, and other direct assessment measures contribute to
student learning? Clearly, direct measure data help instructors to analyze
learning outcomes, but can they contribute to students’ metacognitive
development? What happens when students engage with assessment tools and their
own learning results? Can analyzing the results of direct measures empower
students to think about their learning? Can engaging students in assessing
their own learning enhance their capacities to transfer learning from one
situation to another? To explore these and other questions, please join us for
an informal discussion of ways to harness the results of assessments to further
student learning. Bring examples of your direct measures, data, and ideas about
how to engage students in learning assessment. Lunch will be provided.
