3. Assessment for learning
a type of formative assessment, is utilized by teachers in order
to gain an understanding of their students' knowledge and
skills in order to guide instruction.

the metacognitive processes to evaluate their own learning
and make adjustments.

5. Five Assessment Principles
(after Thomas Angelo & Patricia Cross 1993)
• To improve their teaching,
faculty must define learning
outcomes and measure
their attainment.
• To improve their learning,
students must learn how to
use feedback to assess their
own progress (= “self-
assessment”).
• The best assessment
derives from teachers’
questions about their own
teaching.
• Systematic assessment can
be an intellectually
challenging source of
faculty satisfaction.
• Assessment provides an
impetus for active student
involvement, a proven “best
practice”.
