Programmatic assessment - an introduction by Professor Cees van der Vleuten

Episode 20,   Jul 12, 2021, 10:12 AM

What is the purpose of assessment? How can we provide rich feedback to students? Why are grades not enough?
In this episode, Joe Binetti talks to Cees van der Vleuten from the University of Maastricht. His primary expertise lies in evaluation and assessment, and he introduces us to Programmatic Assessment. Starting from the need for assessing complex skills, "assessing the un-assessable", he leads us through a journey towards programmatic assessment. 
From the importance of relying on professional judgement to a holistic evaluation of behaviour, he defends the crucial role of narrative and rich feedback fit to stimulating self-directed learning.
