Let's become more conscious citizens

Project n° 2016-1-FR01-KA204-023961 Why is Assessment important? It is essential to evaluate whether the pedagogical goals and standards of the teaching units are being met. Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the goals of courses are being fulfilled. Assessment can be of good help for early school leavers, low skilled public… to show positive recognition. Assessment inspire us to ask these questions “ Are we teaching what we think we are teaching? ”, “ Are learners learning what they are supposed to be learning? ”, “ Is there a way to teach the subject better, thereby promoting better learning? ”. Today’s learners need also skills that will allow them to face a world that is continually changing. They must be able to think critically, to analyse and to transfer what has been learned to other contexts. Professionals need to take an active role in making decisions about the purpose of assessment and the content that is being assessed. CITI-VAL project partners propose some quick and easy assessment tools (for professionals then for learners) at the same time as they have introduced at the end of each teaching unit a collection sheet of evaluation method.
