Workshop/Arbeitstreffen
When students learn they follow a clear sequence of four learning domains, recall, elaboration, organisation and reflection. One of the difficult aspects of designing assessment is working out which learning domains we are testing with each type of question or activity. Another is ensuring that we are not only testing recall. The final problem is determining how to give meaningful and useful feedback to the students following or during the assessment. Based on a simple plan of adult learning we will work in pairs or small groups to either develop or improve our assessment strategies, to meet each of these objectives.
