Description

How do rubrics, portfolios, and other direct assessment measures contribute to student learning? Clearly, direct measure data help instructors to analyze learning outcomes, but can they contribute to students’ metacognitive development? What happens when students engage with assessment tools and their own learning results? Can analyzing the results of direct measures empower students to think about their learning? Can engaging students in assessing their own learning enhance their capacities to transfer learning from one situation to another? To explore these and other questions, please join us for an informal discussion of ways to harness the results of assessments to further student learning. Bring examples of your direct measures, data, and ideas about how to engage students in learning assessment. Lunch will be provided.
