Innovations in assessment: the student learning experience

Developing scenario-based learning forformative and summative assessment• It is not in fact teaching but assessment that plays the
largest part in guiding students’ learning. 1
• it can be argued that giving learners feedback is just about the most important dimension of the work of teachers in post-compulsory education … but perhaps all told, formative feedback is the vital dimension, as given at the right time and in the best possible way it can lead learners steadily towards successful achievement in summative assessment contexts. 2

Rational for assessment developments
• Students didn’t perceive that they were receiving feedback
• Highlighted in the national student survey• Feedback on my work has been prompt.
• Agree – 41%• I have received detailed comments on my work.
• Agree – 49%• Feedback on my work has helped me clarify
things I did not understand.• Agree – 53%
“The NSS has highlighted that students are notably less positive about assessment and feedback on their assignments than about other aspects of their learning experience.” Exploring the National Student Survey, The HEA

Scenarios• Building on the PBL in E&EE • Following Civil Engineering model • One week, self contained, group work scenarios• Supporting learning not teaching new material• 3 first year scenarios and 2 second year scenarios• Currently in third year

Problem Based Learning
• Iterative Assessment Cycle– Report submitted at end of problem for summative
assessment– Opportunity to use feedback to improve report– At end portfolio of reports submitted for formative
assessment
• Narrative Commentary introduced• Peer Assessment

Presentations
• Presentations mid-way as guides rather than later as assessment
• Student dedicate significant time to presentations• Too much focus on
‘information’ not enough
on ‘message’
• Opportunity to learn from
other groups and provide
mid-point feedback

Reflective Commentary
advice given
• Consider how they tackled the problem, both as a team and individually, and how they would approach such problems in the future
• “Merely documenting the steps you have gone through in the problem solving process will not earn you a very high mark – you will need to demonstrate what you have learned from the process. “
But often ignored!
![Page 15: Group demonstrations and reports in engineering John Mitchell UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering With thanks to: Sally Day, Rosalind Duhs, Lewis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551614b755034694308b54ac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Narratives
• “Oh yeah, the narrative [wry chuckle]. The narrative, I didn’t like the way the narrative was 50% of the marks because we spent a lot of time on those reports, a lot of time doing research into suitable system diagrams
and everything else and I didn’t like the way half the marks just
went to the narrative…”

Reports
• Attempted to get away from ‘usual’ reports– User Manuals/Documentation– Very specific guidance given

This could have been improved, You need a lot more details

Design description
It is not clear why some choices have been made. And a bullet point time line does not give any idea on some of the design. Your design is based on an error in your data-collection.
2
Theoretical Analysis
The theory is adequate but you have not used it to its full potential.
3
Results and Conclusion
There is almost no analysis in the conclusion, and you do not compare your results with the theory.
1
Individual input
You claim to have done your part of the work over 1 day. You should have spend more time trying to understand the rest of the issues.

Reflective commentary
More comments on what you have learned are needed

Student Debrief and Feedback Session
• Not yet fully utilised• General comments to the whole group• Citing good and bad practice
![Page 20: Group demonstrations and reports in engineering John Mitchell UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering With thanks to: Sally Day, Rosalind Duhs, Lewis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551614b755034694308b54ac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Assessment Weighting
• Course marking scheme (1-5 range)• Currently a low percentage of final grade• All aspects rewarded but none too heavily
• Group vs Individual?• Peer Assessment?
![Page 21: Group demonstrations and reports in engineering John Mitchell UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering With thanks to: Sally Day, Rosalind Duhs, Lewis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551614b755034694308b54ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusions
• Student always appreciate feedback• Even if they then go on to ignore it!• Use assessment to guide learning rather than just
to judge learning• Linking feedback to further assessment seems
vital
