    • Rethinking Assessment in Higher Education : Learning for the Longer Term, Paperback by Boud, David (EDT); Falchikov, Nancy (EDT), ISBN 0415397790, ISBN-13 9780415397797, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

      Noting that assessment practices in higher education has a major influence on student learning because it directs attention to what is considered important, acts as an incentive for study, and acts to build or undermine student confidence in learning ability, Boud (adult education, U. of Technology, Australia) and Falchikov (U. of Edinburgh, UK) are particularly concerned that assessment is not structured to provide a firm foundation for life-long learning among students. They present 14 chapters that analyze assessment according to number of key themes: the link between assessment and teaching and learning, the role of assessment for classification, the contradictions that occur in assessment today, the operation of feedback in assessment processes, the place of self- and peer-assessment, and the link between assessment and emotions.
