Graham Gibbs<\/span> revisits the notion that objective assessment<\/span> is likely to be near impossible. In Idea 43: Most assessment involves (unreliable) professional judgement and is all the better for it<\/a>, Gibbs<\/span> suggests that the time devoted to second and third marking might better be devoted to discussion of assessors’ decision-making especially at the points of assessment design, marking and moderation. This can be achieved by markers – perhaps teams of tutors alongside more experienced markers – sitting in the same room when marking. By comparing notes and discussing difficult papers, the different interpretations and judgements can be brought out in the open and unwanted variations reduced.<\/p>\n

Graham Gibbs<\/span> is one of the UK’s most well known advocates of improving university learning and teaching. With his colleagues (Habeshaw<\/span> & Habeshaw<\/span>), he was responsible for the very popular ’53 Interesting Ideas’ books series that have supported countless teachers (new and experienced) to navigate their way through tricky classroom and curriculum dilemmas. Gibbs<\/span>‘ blog<\/span> ’53 Powerful Ideas all Teachers Should Know About’ offers a research summary of key issues, and is hosted by the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA<\/span>) in the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
