Description
Reflective Assessment: Including Students in the Assessment Process Over the last decade alternative assessment strategies have become an important part of the debate regarding the reform and restructuring of American education. In contrast to the more familiar focus upon standardized testing, this discussion and inquiry has expanded to include the informal, ongoing, formative assessments that occur within the walls of the classroom. According to Wiliam and Thompson (2008, 59) three functions are served by educational assessments--supporting learning (formative), certifying the achievements or potential of individuals (summative), and evaluating the quality of educational institutions or programs (evaluative). It is the first function, supporting learning or formative assessment, that deserves heightened attention by the educational community. Particularly, it is how such formative assessment is seamlessly integrated into the teaching and learning experience that has sparked increased attention to this area (Ellis 2001, Wragg 1997). The aim of this paper is to examine the role of student reflection in a seamless teaching, learning, and assessment process.
