Examining and assessing can be challenging, especially for new
lecturers in the university context. In this introductory workshop,
we will first approach the process of examining and assessing by
analyzing the function and importance of the exam in the context of
constructive alignment and competence orientation. In a next step,
focusing the concequence of learning outcomes in the process of
examination, we will consider different learning outcome taxonomies
and how to facilitate the formulation of learning outcomes.
Implementing their new knowledge, participants will formulate
learning outcomes, which we will critically review in the context of
formative and summative forms of examining. Finally, we will discuss
quality criteria for an examination and reflect the relevance of
reference norms and potential assessment errors.
