| Abstract: |
This primer explores assessment during collaborative learning, shifting the focus from traditional summative evaluation to ongoing formative assessment for learning. It addresses key questions regarding what should be assessed, individual knowledge, group dynamics, collaborative skills, or both; and how assessments can be designed to align with learning objectives. The document outlines effective practices for incorporating self- and peer-assessment to empower students and provides guidance on delivering meaningful feedback. It discusses the importance of balancing individual and group assessments to ensure students learn content and collaborate successfully. The primer also gives practical strategies, resources (including example assessments), and research-based insights to facilitate the application of these principles in classroom settings. |
