Enhancing
Teaching and Learning through Assessment |
|
Proposal
- Aims
The overall aim of the project is to enhance the quality
of teaching and learning through designing,
implementing effective assessment practices, and the effective
use of assessment results. Given that assessment is
an integral part of institutional education, it is important
to first understand what current practices
are regarding the assessment of student learning outcomes, what
approaches and methods are being used, and how these are being
used to inform and improve the quality of teaching and learning.
Based on good and innovative practices identified, further
development in and support to assessment will be proposed.
To achieve this aim, the following specific objectives are proposed.
- Objectives
- To explore current assessment practices
within the PolyU and The University of Hong Kong. These
include the assessment approaches, methods, implementation
procedures, appropriateness to learning objectives, and
problems/difficulties encountered;
- To identify good practices in assessment;
- To explore the effect of the current assessment
practices on teaching and learning from both the
students' and staff's perspectives;
- To develop an Assessment Resource Centre
(ARC) to support on-going quality assurance and
improvement of assessment. This Centre will provide
both print-based and on-line support to both teachers and
students, and will contribute to the further development
of the Teaching and Learning Resource Centre of the PolyU.
Contribution from other Universities will be solicited;
- To provide teaching development activities
based on the resources developed;
- To provide support for individual participating
parties to conduct small scale teaching development
sub-projects to try out alternative assessment
practices.
