Assessment plays an important role in allowing you to evaluate whether your students have met the
goals and learning objectives that you have set for your course. It also provides feedback to help
students learn more effectively. In addition, what you assess and how you assess student learning
reveals whether you ‘walk the talk’ of global citizenship education.
Even before considering global
citizenship, you may ask yourself
the following questions as you
think about assessing student
learning:
•
How can I use the goals and learning
objectives of the course to decide what to
assess?
•
What sorts of assessment techniques will I use
and why (e.g., exams, papers, presentations)?
Will I assess students only individually, or
through some group work?
•
In what circumstances and for what purposes might it be useful to ask students to assess
themselves? What could it look like?
•
How can I design assessment methods to function as learning tools for the students as well as
the means of assessing their learning?
•
Are my students familiar with the approaches to assessment I have chosen? How can I ensure
that my expectations for the assessment method are made clear to students?
•
How often will I provide opportunities for assessment, and why?
•
How will I provide feedback to students about their progress? To what extent will I provide
opportunities for students to engage in dialogue with me about their progress?
•
How will I translate the assessment methods into marks?
•
How will I use the information I will collect from the assessments of student learning? Will they
change/effect my teaching? Will they change/effect future assessments?
