Weeks, Benjamin K.; Laakso, Liisa – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2016

Trede, Franziska; Smith, Megan – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2014
In this paper, we examine workplace educators' interpretations of their assessment practices. We draw on a critical practice lens to conceptualise assessment practice as a social, relational and situated practice that becomes critical through critique and emancipation. We conducted semi-structured interviews followed by roundtable discussions with…
