Towards multicultural, inclusive and diverse evaluation – Exploring post-Secondary students’ perceptions
Higher education acknowledges evaluation as a core component in pedagogy. However, K–12 institutions implement different applications of formative evaluation, and Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) still use traditional evaluation almost exclusively. Adjustments made for students with disabilities (SWDs) are often exam accommodations rather than modifications in the evaluation process itself. The current study aims to examine the perceptions of s…
Towards a new multi-modality campus: Unboxing Pandora’s box
Changing times force us to rethink our academic policies in higher education institutions. Traditional narrow views on students coming to campuses might be problematic for full inclusion. In this paper, we present an innovative model for student inclusion with the goal of producing a new framework for practice in higher education. We suggest re-examining the interactions between student characteristics while taking them into account as a whole an…
The meaning of multicultural evaluation and meaningful evaluation: The importance of multifaceted responsive evaluation in higher education
The interplay between evaluation, pedagogy, and curriculum has been researched extensively. But evaluation is often treated as an isolated component in academic settings, also neglecting multicultural aspects. Its purpose is to measure students' achievements at the end of the course and function as distinctive criteria between high-achieving and low-achieving students. However, according to the constructivist approach, evaluation is embedded in t…
