Active Assessment for Active Learning
Page: 1374
This poster presents preliminary efforts in a research and development project exploring a professional community and its work with assessment strategies grounded in the values and practices of active learning. The project’s aim is to create, refine, and illustrate a definition for such active assessment.Throughout the academic year 2023-2024, members of our professional community are implementing a variety of active assessment strategies, including variations on standards-based grading, group projects and portfolios, in a broad range of courses, from first-year general education courses through upper division electives for mathematics majors. This poster aims to share the motivation, definition, and initial thoughts on the implementation of active assessment, and present some challenges and questions that have arisen.
