Assessment for/as Learning: Integrated Automatic Assessment in Complex Learning Resources for Self-Directed Learning

Abstract

In the so-called 'New Culture for Assessment' assessment has become a tool for Learning. Assessment is no more considered to be isolated from the learning process and provided as embedded assessment forms. Nevertheless, students have more responsibility in the learning process in general and in assessment activities in particular. They become more engaged in: developing assessment criteria, participating in self, peer-assessments, reflecting on their own learning, monitoring their performance, and utilizing feedback to adapt their knowledge, skills, and behavior. Consequently, assessment tools have emerged from being stand-alone represented by monolithic systems through modular assessment tools to more flexible and interoperable generation by adopting the service-oriented architecture and modern learning specifications and standards. The new generation holds great promise when it comes to having interoperable learning services and tools within more personalized and adaptive e-learning platforms. In this paper, integrated automated assessment forms provided through flexible and SOA-based tools are discussed. Moreover, it presents a show case of how these forms have been integrated with a Complex Learning Resource (CLR) and used for self-directed learning. The results of the study show, that the developed tool for selfdirected learning supports students in their learning process.

The problem of evaluating primary school students in the online education process

“…Sercemeli and Kurnaz (2020) also stated in their study on students that one of the disadvantageous aspects of distance education is the lack of interaction between teacher and student. Al-Smadi et al (2012) stated in their study that students have different learning styles or that teachers evaluate the learning process for different purposes, making it necessary to prefer alternative measurement tools.…”

Serious Games Analytics

“…Scholars have used this framework to evaluate a broad array of skills, including urban planning , environmental planning (Sweet & Rupp, 2012 ), engineering , systems-thinking , creative problem solving ), persistence (DiCerbo, 2014 ), computer networking (Behrens et al, 2007 ;, and fi re safety (Al-Smadi, Wesiak, & Guetl, 2012 ). The wide range of topics scholars have used ECD to assess highlights the powerful potential of the framework's approach to in-game assessment.…”
