DIGITAL ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES IN ONLINE TEACHER EDUCATION Luís Tinoca
Teresa Fernandes The emergence
of e-learning as a vehicle for teaching and learning is presently
unquestionable. This research aims to address the following issues
related to this topic: (i) which modes and strategies of assessment
to use in teacher education virtual learning environments; (ii) how
to define the authenticity of the assessment strategies; (iii) which
indicators to use in order to warrant the validity of digital
assessment strategies; and (iv) how to reflect on the relationship
between the certification of competences and the use of alternative
assessment strategies in teacher education virtual environments. The
findings illustrate the participants’ recognition of the formative
character of the proposed assessment design, and particularly for
the open-ended e-folio. Suggestions are offered for the improvement
of the proposed assessment design, so as to better promote the
formative character of assessment. |
