Direct linkLiesbeth K. J. Baartman; Kathleen M. Quinlan – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2024
We argue that assessment and feedback practices in higher education need to be transformed to better address three purposes: "promoting" learning, "assuring" assessment rigour, and "communicating" students' employability. To address shortcomings in the current assessment and feedback culture, we propose programmatic…

Timothy Clark – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024
In the UK, all doctoral programmes are expected to include some form of periodic progression assessment, with individual institutions having autonomy to design and implement their own structures. Yet, despite the potential significance of this assessment to individual doctoral journeys, the design of progression assessment processes has previously…

Chahna Gonsalves – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024
Despite their widespread adoption and recognised benefits, rubrics have been critiqued for their potential misalignment with student needs. The voices of international students, who constitute a substantial portion of the higher education population, remain underrepresented. This study examines the perspectives of international undergraduate…

Len Chan – Canadian Journal of Action Research, 2025
Anonymous marking, as a means to mitigate bias in grading, involves evaluating student work with their identities withheld. Anonymous marking is explored in this self-study to mitigate implicit bias, which negated a practitioner-researcher's educational values. The mixed methods action research findings show withholding student identities during…

The recent increase in the number of higher education institutions adopting block teaching has prompted questions about the appropriateness of assessment methods that were commonly used in a semesterised delivery model. This paper explores student and faculty perceptions of summative assessment methods in a block and blend mode of delivery at a…

Joshua Fullard – Discover Education, 2024
In this paper we use new experimental data to investigate students' preferences regarding lecture mode and length, and assessment type across two unique dimensions: expected learning and enjoyment. Our main findings are as follows: first, students demonstrate a strong preference against online lectures. Students expect to learn more from, and…

Iannone, Paola; Simpson, Adrian – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2022
Two previous studies mapping university mathematics students' summative assessment diet in the UK revealed a clear picture. In general, there was a dominance of closed book examinations with a strong relationship to departmental league table position. The decade since then has seen many changes in higher education in the UK, particularly in the…

Wangqiang Sun; Yuting Ding; Ruirui Wang; Yan Liu; Yang Wang; Bailin Zhu; Qiuxin Liu – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024
Launched in 1975, Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education (AEHE) is a prominent international journal that focuses on assessment and evaluation within higher education. This bibliometric analysis of AEHE aims to gain insights into its evolution since its expansion in 2012 and identify its critical contributions to higher education.…

Camille Kandiko Howson; Martyn Kingsbury – Teaching in Higher Education, 2023
Through an evaluation of an institution-wide curriculum change process, this paper analyses how strategic policy is variously enacted in departmental communities. Linguistic ethnography of public, institutional and internal policy documents illuminates departments' engagement with the change process. With curriculum change positioned as a…

Xiaotong Zhu; Carol Evans – European Journal of Higher Education, 2024
Enhancing students' assessment literacy is essential in enabling all students to manage their learning successfully. Understanding of the assessment standards required and how to meet them impacts students' learning outcomes within higher education (HE). However, there are many different conceptions of what assessment literacy comprises, making it…

Sally E. Jordan; John P. R. Bolton – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2024
The study investigated the impact on student engagement and achievement of a "formative thresholded" continuous assessment strategy in which students had to meet a modest threshold, but their continuous assessment marks did not contribute to their final grade. Students were free to choose their own blend of tutor-marked and…

This paper describes the collaborative development of an agenda for research on e-assessment in undergraduate mathematics. We built on an established approach to develop the agenda from the contributions of 22 mathematics education researchers, university teachers and learning technologists interested in this topic. The resulting set of 55…

Evaluating the impact of Academic Literacies teaching (Lea and Street [1998. "Student Writing in Higher Education: An Academic Literacies Approach." "Studies in Higher Education" 23 (2): 157-72. doi:10.1080/03075079812331380364]) is difficult, as it involves gauging whether writers: (1) gain better understanding of what…

Winstone, Naomi E.; Ajjawi, Rola; Dirkx, Kim; Boud, David – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
The increasing prominence of neoliberal agendas in international higher education has led to greater weight being ascribed to student satisfaction, and the national surveys through which students evaluate courses of study. In this article, we focus on the evaluation of feedback processes. Rather than the transmission of information from teacher to…

Watermeyer, Richard; Derrick, Gemma Elizabeth; Borras Batalla, Mar – Research Evaluation, 2022
In aggressively neo-liberalized higher education systems and in 'high-performing' research units--typically academic schools in high-ranking research universities--research assessment has come to dominate the daily organization and enactment of research and research culture. So much so in fact that academics' research praxis, their employability,…
