Abstract

The present paper reports a systematic review of the assessment literacy concept in the higher education field. The purpose of the review is to provide an updated overview of theory and research on this topic. Despite the recent chances, in culture and practice in the higher education field, assessment literacy is frequently defined as a concept in its infancy. While the compulsory education and the teacher training sectors have produced a consistent amount of research, in the higher education sector assessment literacy seems to be an under-conceptualized concept. The imprecise conceptualization, the ambiguous language, the circularity, and the lack of definitions have considerable implications for educational research, as well as on faculty members’ assessment practices.
