  • Unravelling workplace educators’ judgment processes when assessing students’ performance at the workplace

    Open AccessM E De Vos, Liesbeth Baartman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Education…2024

    The assessment of workplace learning by educators at the workplace is a complex and inherently social process, as the workplace is a participatory learning environment. We therefore propose seeing assessment as a process of judgment embedded in a community of practice and to this purpose use the philosophy of inferentialism to unravel the judgment process of workplace educators by seeing it as an interrelated system of judgments, actions and reas…

  • Competency-based medical education

    Daniel J Schumacher, Benjamin Kinnear et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2024

    High-value care is what patients deserve and what healthcare professionals should deliver. However, it is not what happens much of the time. Quality improvement master Dr. Don Berwick argued more than two decades ago that American healthcare needs an escape fire, which is a new way of seeing and acting in a crisis situation. While coined in the U.S. context, the analogy applies in other Western healthcare contexts as well. Therefore, in this pape…

  • Marking parties for marking written assessments

    Emma Vaccari, Joyce Moonen-van Loon et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2024

    In programmes of assessment with both high and low-stakes assessments, the inclusion of open-ended long answer questions in the high-stakes examination can contribute to driving deeper learning among students. However, in larger institutions, this would generate a seemingly insurmountable marking workload. In this study, we use a focused ethnographic approach to explore how such a marking endeavour can be tackled efficiently and pragmatically. In…

  • Students’ perceptions of the assessment programme’s impact on self-regulated learning

    Open AccessLonneke H Schellekens, Marieke van der Schaaf et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…2024

    It is assumed that a programmatic approach to assessment supports students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). This study investigated students’ perceptions of this assumed support. Using a multiple-case study design, this study examined students’ perceptions in two distinct study programmes. In each case, first-year students were enrolled in an assessment programme that was designed in accordance with the principles of programmatic assessment, which…

  • Between theory and practice

    Open AccessLonneke H Schellekens, Wim D J Kremer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    Introduction The shift toward an assessment for learning culture includes assessment quality criteria that emphasise the learning process, such as transparency and learning impact, in addition to the traditional validity and reliability criteria. In practice, the quality of the assessment depends on how the criteria are interpreted and applied. We explored how educators perceive and achieve assessment quality, as well as how they perceive assessm…

  • Perceived control decisions in preparation for a summative achievement test in higher education

    Open AccessJeroen van der Linden, Tamara van Schilt-Mol et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2023

    Most courses in higher education finish with one or more assessments which commonly all have to be passed. In these courses, student learning is commonly measured using conventional classroom tests, therefore test preparation is a common task for students. In higher education, compared with students’ prior education, they are faced with a more complex curriculum and have to perform their studies with less guidance and limited resources. Therefore…

  • Utility of a multimodal computer-based assessment format for assessment with a higher degree of reliability and validity

    Open AccessJohan Renes, Cees Van Der Vleuten et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2023

    Multiple choice questions (MCQs) suffer from cueing, item quality and factual knowledge testing. This study presents a novel multimodal test containing alternative item types in a computer-based assessment (CBA) format, designated as Proxy-CBA. The Proxy-CBA was compared to a standard MCQ-CBA, regarding validity, reliability, standard error of measurement, and cognitive load, using a quasi-experimental crossover design. Biomedical students were r…

  • Programmatic assessment design choices in nine programs in higher education

    Open AccessLiesbeth Baartman, Tamara van Schilt-Mol et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    In programmatic assessment (PA), an arrangement of different assessment methods is deliberately designed across the entire curriculum, combined and planned to support both robust decision-making and student learning. In health sciences education, evidence about the merits and pitfalls of PA is emerging. Although there is consensus about the theoretical principles of PA, programs make diverse design choices based on these principles to implement P…

  • Supporting Teachers in Improving Formative Decision-Making

    Open AccessJanneke van der Steen, Tamara van Schilt-Mol et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    Formative assessment is considered as one of the most effective interventions to support teacher decision-making and improve education and student learning. However, formative assessment does not always meet these expectations. In order to be effective, formative assessment activities should be consciously and coherently planned aligned with other aspects of the curriculum and the decisions teachers wish to make based on these activities. While t…

  • The pursuit of fairness in assessment

    Nyoli Valentine, Steven J Durning et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2022

    Health professions education has undergone significant changes over the last few decades, including the rise of competency-based medical education, a shift to authentic workplace-based assessments, and increased emphasis on programmes of assessment. Despite these changes, there is still a commonly held assumption that objectivity always leads to and is the only way to achieve fairness in assessment. However, there are well-documented limitations …

  • Entrustment Unpacked

    Benjamin Kinnear, Eric J Warm et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    Educators use entrustment, a common framework in competency-based medical education, in multiple ways, including frontline assessment instruments, learner feedback tools, and group decision making within promotions or competence committees. Within these multiple contexts, entrustment decisions can vary in purpose (i.e., intended use), stakes (i.e., perceived risk or consequences), and process (i.e., how entrustment is rendered). Each of these cha…

  • A scoping review on the notions of Assessment as Learning (AaL), Assessment for Learning (AfL), and Assessment of Learning (AoL)

    Open AccessLonneke H Schellekens, Harold G J Bok et al.ARTICLEStudies In Educational Evaluation2021

    Associations between assessment and learning are widely studied and often organized around the notions of Assessment as Learning (AaL), Assessment for Learning (AfL), and Assessment of Learning (AoL). Although these notions are appealing in theory, the notions are unclear constructs to comprehend, as both their definitions and their practice are used inconsistently in educational research. We present a synthesis of common characteristics among th…
