Illuminating Instruction and Assessment to Support Student Success in Higher Education: International Perspectives

Sat, April 11, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, Floor: 5th Floor, Wilshire Grand Ballroom I

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This international symposium highlights research investigating common and evidence-based instruction and assessment in higher education. Papers critically examine the prevalence of transmissive orientations, practices known to contribute to student learning, motivation, and well-being, and describe what is needed to expand faculty’s use of evidence-based practices. Five studies explore enduring challenges and promising directions for supporting students: A mixed-methods longitudinal study of common and effective instruction and assessment at three U.S. institutions; a meta-analysis examining the conditions for active learning efficacy; a study examining the challenges and opportunities of non-test-based assessment in a Canadian university; a study examining how and when self-assessment practices support achievement in the Philippines; and a Spain-wide study examining longitudinal changes in assessment through syllabi.
