(dis)empowering learners. By Liz McDowell, Head of Learning & Teaching Academy,
Nortumbria University
Date: 18th March 2010, 2-3.30pm
Venue: Old Broadcasting House, Leeds
The session will draw on research data gathered from students and staff to examine more deeply the impacts of assessment on student learning and on their capabilities in the longer term. It will challenge what we ‘know’ about students’ responses to assessment, and dig beneath the surface of conventional models such as ‘constructive alignment’.
Maximum number of participants 20
Liz McDowell is a Professor in Academic Practice at Northumbria University and Director of a national Centre for Excellence in Assessment for Learning. The Centre has a dual role in conducting research in assessment and also promoting innovation and enhancement in assessment practice in the higher education sector. Liz has long-standing research interests in the student experience of assessment and the impacts of assessment on learning.
