Purchase options and add-ons

Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses integrates current thinking and research regarding the learning of undergraduate students with principles of best practice in assessment and teaching. The book will help readers see the connection among three powerful trends in higher education today: the focus on learning and learners, the emphasis on the assessment of learning, and the need to continually improve what those in higher education do. Grounded in principles of constructivist learning theory and continuous improvement, the book provides opportunities for readers to make connections with what they already know about assessment, integrate new information with their current knowledge, and try new approaches to enhance the learning of their students. Readers will consider what it means to shift from a teacher-centered paradigm of instruction to a learner-centered paradigm. The book offers practical approaches to help formulate intended learning outcomes, gather feedback from students to guide instruction, and develop scoring criteria for guiding and evaluating student work. Readers will learn how to assess students' ability to think critically, address enduring and emerging issues and problems in their disciplines, and use portfolios to promote and evaluate student learning. Numerous questions to guide implementation, as well as examples from a variety of disciplines and institutions are provided. For higher education administrators or those in faculty development.

Very useful for dealing with changing requirements for college level teachers. The book helps conceptualize the differences between assessing knowledge and assessing learning. A good tool for everyone's toolbox.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great surprise
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2000
As a faculty developer and instructional designer I am constantly on the lookout for good resources. Every once in a while, a jewel turns up. I must say that this is a pure jewel. I have had my copy for about six eeks and have read it once and am in the process of rereading it a second time.
For faculty who really want a good understanding of student-centered instruction as well as assessment, I higly recommend this book.
It is replete with examples and the section on developing and using rubrics is exceptional.
I consider this book a must have for faculty member's professional library.

2.0 out of 5 stars very boring book
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2007
I had to buy it for my Educational Evaluation class. It is very boring to read. It is stuffed with annoying quotes, and repeats the same thing over and over.

Very few examples of how to shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered method of teaching...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different and Powerful Approach to Assessment
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2004
Huba and Freed bridge the gap between assessment and student-centered teaching and learning. Throughout the text the authors include reflection questions to trigger thinking and changes in mental models. While the thrust of the book is conceptual, there are many practical suggestions for implementation in areas such as learning outcomes, rubrics, and other related areas of assessment. While compatible with other treatments of assessment, this is a unique perspective.

1.0 out of 5 stars Learned-Centered Assessment...
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2009
I would like to start off by saying that giving this book a rating of 1 star technically means I felt as though it actually had 'some' value(which is untrue). This book showcases exactly what is wrong with our educational system and why it has become the way it is today. First, it is filled cover-to-cover with gobs of nonsensical drivel and psychobabble that makes it impossible to apply to any real-life scenario. I have no idea if there was a page quota for this book but it could have been boiled down to an easily accessible pamphlet, as opposed to a 286 page monstrosity. The main focus of the book is lost multiple times and the reader is left pondering whether the authors actually understand the material or if they actually intended for it to be used at all. Proven case studies are virtually non existent and you are left filtering through what is assumed to be the authors' own personal opinions/assumptions on the various topics. Overall, this book does not encapsulate on any ideas nor does it provide any insight on how to improve upon current teaching methods. Moreover, This book is a failure and at the cost of the readers time and money. I sincerely hope they review their approach to such an insoluble topic.

A little dry and could use more examples and plain language. Tries to be too academic. Look at practicality rather than lots of words assessment doesn't need to be this complicated. Better books out there
