Designing Learner-Centered Assessments
Throughout this course, we have looked at ways to make assessment more learner-centered. When the assessment is learner-centered, it engages students in examining their own learning. The learner-centered assessment utilizes authentic assessments, self-assessment, and self-reflection in cooperative, collaborative, supportive environments. Learner-centered assessment is also reliant on immediate, descriptive feedback from the teacher or facilitator.
This module’s presentations suggested the best way to learn more about learner-centered assessment is to pilot such a test or exam using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle (LaLopa, 2003).
In the Module 4 Application, you will create a presentation for a group of colleagues to illustrate your knowledge and understanding of the PDSA cycle. You will also create a learner-centered assessment and share that assessment in your presentation as an example of the PDSA cycle. Suggestions for an assessment include peer tutoring, editing, or assessing; oral presentations; journal writing; self-assessment; or a reflection paper. You may use one of these or your own idea.
