ASSESSMENT IN PRACTICE

This theme considers key aspects of effective assessment in practice. Assessment is integral to the learning process and requires a clear understanding of the principles and practices of assessment in the workplace and how it relates to the development of the professional. It contains a range of evidence-based information and other materials that may be of interest to people involved in the assessment of practice and those seeking to develop further ways of assessing students’ practice.

The topics covered in the section are:

• Theory associated with assessing learning in practice settings
• Principles of assessing learning in practice settings
• Professional standards where appropriate
• Roles and responsibilities in assessing learning in practice settings
• Guidelines on assessing learning in practice settings
• Skills for assessment in practice
• Learning Materials

The resources section of this website remains under constant development. The project team want to ensure that all links are functioning and that relevant materials are included. Therefore, we would welcome your feedback on the resources section so that we can refine and develop the materials on offer. If you would like to provide feedback, then complete the online questionnaire to send us your comments on the resources section plus any suggested additions.
