Summary
To prevent misconceptions of what is required from students to pass a course, teachers share the ASSESSMENT CRITERIA LIST and ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS with students and encourage self- and peer-assessment of students’ artefacts/performances (Bergin et al., 2015a, p. 3ff.)
Example for Technological Support
The teacher could create a teaching ePortfolio to transparently communicate assessment criteria and assessment instruments. Students and parents could benefit from this online service.
