OBE AND ASSESSMENT

Basic questions;

1. What do you want students to have and able to do ?

2. How can you best help students achieve it ?

3. How will you know that they have achieved ?


Main principles:

1. Assessment as an integral part of teaching and learning; providing ongoing feedback, being educative and to improve learning

2. Assessment for learning/understanding - diagnostic and formative (vs assessment of learning)

3. Criterion - referenced; based on pre-determined criteria or outcomes (vs norm-referenced); performance -based assessment.

4. Multiple methods - involve students in various assessment process (quizzes ,tests, exams, projects/lab works, oral presentations, reports, assignments, problem-based tasks/exercises, essays, student portfolio, etc)

5. Based on clear evidences (rather than on intuition or hunches)- good record keeping and documentation
