| 要約: | This paper reports the findings of a national study involving 534 lecturers from 33 higher
learning institutions in Malaysia to find out their self-reported practices and perceived
competencies in assessment for learning. Data were collected using a 24-item assessment
practice inventory drawn from five of the six standards stipulated in an established USdeveloped
assessment competency framework for teachers. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
and descriptive statistics were used to analyse lecturers’ reported practices and competencies.
The PCA procedures extracted four underlying dimensions of AfLpractice among the lecturers
that corresponded to four of the five standards used. Further descriptive analysis produced a
rank order of the four AfLdimensions in terms of practice and competency. Lecturers reported
to quite frequently practise‘communicating results and feedback to students’ and ‘using diverse
AfL methods’. They also perceived to be more competent in these two aspects than in AfLcompliant
grading practices and recognising unethical uses of assessment information. The
findings produced adequate empirical support for instructional interventions and training to be
provided at the national level to upgrade lecturers’ current competencies in assessment and
support their adoption of AfL. |
