Abstract | Frustrated by students' disappointing performance on traditional exams, an education professor and a psychology professor independently asked their students to simply demonstrate what they had learned during a given time frame. In this article, we will argue that when students are provided opportunities for learner-centered assessment, they dedicate more time, show more creative output, and are often more successful than when answering questions on a traditional assessment measure. Research has demonstrated that students who create their own assessment must show that they understand the information by re-interpreting it in a different way, the very definition of deep learning (Atherton, 2005; Saljo, 1979). When instructors require that students really think about what and how they have learned, they are encouraging further learning to occur (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000). Sample methods of learner-centered assessment with rubrics are provided, as well as suggestions for implementation and improvement. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided). |
