Assessment system

Definition
‘A group of policies, structures, practices, and tools for generating and using information on student learning’ (Clarke, 2011: 4). When good quality assessment systems are sustained over time, they provide the possibility of monitoring learning trends, and therefore have a better ‘understanding of the relative contribution of various inputs and educational practices to changes in those trends’ (Clarke, 2011: 6).
