Prof-ASSESS: Professional Learning, Authentic Assessment
Funded under QQI's Rethinking Assessment programme, the Prof-ASSESS project aims to a develop programme-based approach to building authenticity into assessment and feedback processes in consultation with:
- Programme teams from TU Dublin's Bachelor of Architecture, Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical & Control Engineering, BSc in Optometry and Bachelor of Laws.
- Professional, Statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRBs) the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland (RIAI), Engineers Ireland, CORU (regulating health and social care professionals) and Kings Inns.
- Our wider academic community, authentic assessment community of practice (CoP), and TU Dublin learners.
We'll be posting updates about the progress of Prof-ASSESS here soon, in the meantime you can contact lta@tudublin.ie with any queries.
Details on the Prof Assess Authentic Assessment Framework
The project aims:
- to build upon institutional collaborative relationships with PSRBs in the design of authentic assessments to increase validity, relevance and perceived usefulness of these methods within different learning contexts
- to develop a programme-based approach, aligned to TU Dublin’s Quality Framework and Authentic Assessment Framework, to support individual’s/groups’ design of a coherent authentic assessment strategy designed to enable graduates to achieve the desired programme learning outcomes
- to create a TU Dublin authentic assessment toolkit aligned to a CPD framework for staff and aligned to the development and recognition of graduate attributes for our students through the award of ‘professional learning’ badges
