“…Several reviews and assessments have been made of the techniques developed to estimate criterion-referenced test reliability. These have been presented in the literature by Hambleton, Swaminathan, Algina, and Coulson (1978), Linn and Werts (1979), Millman (1979), Berk (1980b), Brennan (1980), Shepard (1980), Subkoviak (1980), Traub and Rowley (1980), Berk (1984c), and Crocker and Algina (1986).…”

“…Berk (1984a) stated that such research is "sadly, ... almost totally nonexistent" (p.32). Referring to a comprehensive review of research on criterionreferenced testing by Hambleton, Swaminathan, Algina, and Coulson (1978), Berk noted that only the work of Ebel (1962) and Hively, Patterson, and Page (1968) discussed the topic of test specifications, and neither empirically investigated the efficacy of various forms of test specifications.…”

“…Probably the most commonly used approach for identifying competent performance is the "Competent by Fiat" method (i.e., competent performance is what one or more of the expert physicians say it is). Historically, two other methods have been and continue to be used: (1) "grading on the curve" method, i.e., a score 2 standard deviations below the mean is noncompetent, or (2) an overall exam score below 60% is incompetent. In many situations, there are insufficient resources to do much more than this.…”

“…Due to the nature of student-centered learning, criterion-referenced assessment methods are commonly used for evaluating students' outcomes [8]. The criterion-referenced assessment method directs students' attention to their performance with respect to the tasks they undertake [8]- [10]. However, in the current practice [8], [9] of a student-centered learning environment, the lecturers in charge are solely responsible for determining the assessment criteria and their corresponding weights.…”

Abstract-Assessment of student learning is an important task in a teaching and learning process. It has a strong influence on students' approaches to learning and their outcomes. Recent development in tertiary education has shifted its emphasis from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning. In a student-centered learning environment, criterion-referenced assessment techniques are often used in current education research and practice. However, it sometimes happens that the assessment criteria and their corresponding weights are solely determined by the lecturers in charge. This may reduce the interest of students' participation and lower the quality of their learning. This paper presents an integrated fuzzy set approach to assess the outcomes of student-centered learning. It uses fuzzy set principles to represent the imprecise concepts for subjective judgment and applies a fuzzy set method to determine the assessment criteria and their corresponding weights. Based on the commonly agreed assessment criteria, students' learning outcomes are evaluated on a fuzzy grade scale. The proposed fuzzy set approach incorporates students' opinions into assessment and allows them to have a better understanding on the assessment criteria. It aims at encouraging students to participate in the whole learning process and providing an open and fair environment for assessment.Index Terms-Fuzzy set application, group decision support systems, project assessment, student-centered learning.
