New Models of Assessment


Our projects on assessment are exploring new ways to capture compelling forms of learning that are missed by current methods of assessment.

Research Description


Assessment exerts a tremendous influence on what is taught, what people think counts as useful learning, and what we discover about how people learn. The projects on assessment are exploring new ways to capture compelling forms of learning, such as willingness to seek negative feedback, but are missed by current methods of assessment. If successful, these new assessment paradigms will provide educators, researchers, students, and policy-makers new ways to think about and evaluate learning.
