Issues to consider when planning an assessment strategy

The implementation of the graduate attributes framework provides an opportunity to address the concerns about assessment practices as outlined earlier. Shifting from a content-driven curriculum to a skills and process-driven curriculum provides opportunities to reframe the teaching, learning and assessment strategy. In part, this involves integrating the use of different methods of assessment that are better aligned with the learning outcomes. However, it is not just about selecting different forms of assessment and drawing from a wider range of tools. There are several factors that require careful consideration and planning. Some of these include the particular discipline area and its current orientation, the nature of the course and its learning objectives, the level of the course/unit, the nature and form that customization of the graduate attributes assumes, particular characteristics of the student population, what resources are available within the environment, the nature and extent of institutional support, as well as consideration of internal and external constraints. These and other factors require careful consideration when planning the assessment strategy.

To facilitate the above-mentioned process and to encourage the use of a wider range of assessment methods when embedding the graduate attributes framework into curricula, a multiple assessment methods grid is provided (See Figure 2 in creating a Teaching and Learning Culture to Embed Graduate Attributes into Assessment Practices Conclusions). It is emphasized that in addition to mapping and customization processes, implementation of an embedded approach to graduate attributes requires more than selection of suitable assessment methods. It is essential to formulate relevant assessment tasks (that embed content and process skills) that are "constructively aligned" (Biggs, 1999).
