EDUC265: Educational Assessment
Measurement and assessment are central to education as they inform students, parents, teachers and the community of the processes and outcomes of teaching and learning. Australia, as elsewhere, has witnessed the increase in the use of outcomes and standards over the last decade, which is manifest in curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and reporting. For students to gain a full understanding of how assessment informs decision making, they are introduced to the basics of educational measurement and testing, but the emphasis is on solving problems with assessment and reporting. Tutorial exercises and assessments utilise examples from the language classroom and encourage discussion of the Malaysian context wherever possible.
