Summative Assessment in Higher Education
The article begins with a view of learning and of what its assessment entails, arguing that it is helpful to distinguish between assessment systems primarily intended to provide feedout and those intended to provide feedback. Attention is then concentrated on summative, feedout, or high stakes assessment, which is supposed to be highly reliable. A number of difficulties with current practices are then identified, leading to the claim that high st…
Transforming Work Experience in Higher Education
It has frequently been claimed that work experience can contribute to higher educational standards in schools and in higher education and contribute to the development of a flexible, highly‐skilled and enterprising labour force. This potential was endorsed by the Dearing Report on higher education, although there is little research evidence about the contribution of work experience to the higher education curriculum. This article reports on four …
The Value of a Programme-wide Approach to Assessment
Reliability is important in the academic judgements that higher education institutions pass to employers, graduate schools and other stakeholders. However, there are well-known limits to the levels of reliability that can be reached at reasonable cost and without sacrificing validity. It is argued that a systemic approach to the assessment of student learning shows how resources may be freed up to invest in securing more reliable assessments wher…
Department-level Cultures and the Improvement of Learning and Teaching
This article argues that good practice in teaching and learning in the English-speaking world may be compromised by structural changes in the higher education system. The impact of these changes is, however, affected by leadership practices and working cultures at the departmental level. These can, it is argued, assist in the development of 'deeper' teaching and learning practices even in a context which may be seen as unfavourable to them. Rejec…
Postgraduates' choice of programme
This exploration of the nature of demand for postgraduate information draws on two studies. The first, presented in outline, consists of an exploratory investigation of the information materials that some UK higher education institutions have provided about taught master's programmes in three subject areas. The conclusion is that these documents are uneven and frequently did not give sufficient information about academic and practical aspects of …
