Organizer: | JMU and HRW |
To get to know programmatic assessment better, Hochschule Ruhr West and Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg offer a three-parts workshop series. In the first part, you will discover the basics of programmatic assessment and will have the possibility to adapt this approach to your classes. In the second part, you can explore how this approach is implemented in CHARM-EU´s Master of sustainability. We will offer a third part in spring to give all participants of both workshops the possibility to connect further and discuss their first steps with programmatic assessment in their own classrooms and discuss challenges.
Target Audience: Teachers of all disciplines who want to critically question their examination formats and try out new approaches
Format: Interactive with inputs, reflection phases and exchange among colleagues
Language: German
The programmatic assessment approach offers a number of advantages over traditional examination approaches: Instead of isolating isolated examination events, the focus is placed on a systematic examination process in which students regularly request feedback on the learning process. The variability of the examination forms allows students to contribute their different strengths and make their personal development visible. As a teacher, you can support your students' learning in a more sustainable way and gain a more comprehensive picture of their abilities. Systematic feedback should help your students to recognize weaknesses and work on them in a targeted manner. Collecting various examination and feedback data will help you to evaluate performance in a more informed way and reduce your students' examination anxiety.
In a 2.5-hour online workshop, we will introduce you to the concept of programmatic assessment and support you in reflecting on your own examination practice. The aim is that by the end of the workshop you will have developed initial ideas and approaches on how you can gradually make examinations in your modules more meaningful and conducive to learning. Please bring a concrete example from your teaching practice that you would like to work on during the workshop!
For better planning, we look forward to receiving registrations by February 14 to klara.schneider@hs-ruhrwest.de.
