(b)Assessment strategies and techniques.
Teaching and learning styles are too large a subject to cover here; however, in designing assessments, as mentioned earlier, the starting point should be the level of study at which the assignments are pitched. What are the expectations of the students in completing the assignment? In order to convey the importance of levels of study, the approach used was to investigate the typical verbs used to describe activities in an assessment at levels 4, 5 and 6 in the UK. If staff are not just designing assignments at a particular level but encouraged to explain to students the expectation of the level at which they are currently studying, the students are more likely to perform at the level expected.
Based on the types of verbs in Fig. 9.1 [and there are many other synonymous verbs conveying similar expectations at each level (https://www.teachthought.com/critical-thinking/126-blooms-taxonomy-verbs-digital-learning/, https://www.teachthought.com/critical-thinking/249-blooms-taxonomy-verbs-for-critical-thinking/)]. Assessment is often designed at level 4 at the level of remembering and understanding. In the first year of a UK degree (level 4), it is not unreasonable to see a lot of recall of facts as an introduction to the topic. Depending on the assignment, students can do very well recalling information. However, the expectation at level 5 is much more demanding as we expect the students to demonstrate higher order skills, specifically analysis and application. Level 6, traditionally in the UK, is characterised by independent study or final year projects; however, the expectations of all the modules are that students are expected to demonstrate higher level skills characterised by the level of evaluation in Fig. 9.1. The expression used typically in the UK is critical evaluation. The “critical” here is akin to a literary critic, someone who analyses the merits or work of literature. In that, the essential component of a final year project or independent study is the literature review. Rather than teaching partners the theories of good literary criticism, the approach the author uses is to illustrate the development of a skeleton dissertation. These examples are shared with the staff that will be supervising the independent studies and final year projects.
