摘要

摘要高等教育质量评估需要推动学习,培养具有学科知识和就业技能的毕业生。基于绩效的资助要求大学关注毕业生的成绩和未来的就业状况。进行研究是为了调查澳大利亚大学内部的项目级评估规划是如何进行的,以确定学术界对他们所考虑的方面以及他们认为在项目规划层面至关重要的评估实践的理解。建构主义基础理论是方法论的基础,18位学者接受了采访。参与者包括来自七所澳大利亚大学的副院长和项目主任(或同等职位),他们分别是营养学和物理疗法的认证学科以及生物医学和科学的非认证学位。研究结果表明,学术界考虑了许多因素,包括政策、课程、技能和认证。被确定为至关重要的评估实践包括建设性的一致性、一系列评估任务、真实和持续的评估。项目级评估规划的目标是对评估任务进行全面排序,以提高学生的就业能力,从而使他们成为成功的毕业生并确保就业,这使大学能够获得未来的资金。

Program-level assessment planning in Australia: the considerations and practices of university academics
Abstract Quality assessment in higher education needs to drive learning to produce graduates with disciplinary knowledge and employable skills. Performance-based funding requires universities to focus on graduate outcomes and future employment status. Research was conducted to investigate how program-level assessment planning is occurring within Australian universities, to determine academics understanding what aspects they consider and the assessment practice they identify as essential at the program-planning level. Constructivist grounded theory underpins the methodological approach and 18 academics were interviewed. Participants included Associate Deans and Program Directors (or equivalent roles) from seven Australian universities, in the accredited disciplines of dietetics and physiotherapy and non-accredited degrees in biomedical science and science. The results indicate that academics consider a myriad of factors including policies, curriculum, skills, and accreditation. Assessment practices identified as essential incorporate constructive alignment, a range of assessment tasks, authentic, and continuous assessments. The goal of program-level assessment planning is to holistically sequence assessment tasks to enhance students’ employability, so they become successful graduates and secure employment, which enables universities to acquire future funding.
