The Relationship between Assessment Method and Learning Approach

摘要

Quantitative and qualitative analysis revealed that students took different learning approaches for assessments in different nature according to their understanding of the abilities being evaluated. Assessment type such as presentation and essay were more likely to promote the adoption of deep approach while objective test tended to lead to the use of surface approach, which was not desirable in tertiary studies. Therefore, proper assessment types should be employed to encourage the students to adopt deep learning approach in their learning.
