When delivering a teaching session we use clear intended learning outcomes related to the individual session which often also link to broader programme aims. However an area we may not address is whether there are any unspoken rules and expectations underpinning a hidden curriculum. Do we as educators explain to learners why assessments have been developed in a particular way and why these might build in complexity over time? Or how we use the marking criteria to highlight these expectations? This pedagogy seminar series session will use examples which explain assumptions made by the educators as a means of increasing transparency to the learner about assessment and feedback approaches used. The impact of this in terms of more explicitly supporting the learner in understanding our ‘unspoken’ expectations and why they matter will be explored.
On successful completion of this plenary session participants should be able to:
identify areas where assumptions are being made about the teaching session around assessment and feedback which are not clearly communicated to the learner
review an approach to supporting the learners understanding of assessment literacy
consolidate knowledge to identify whether such resources can be developed to support specific learners
