摘要:At the heart of changing institutional assessment and feedback
practices is the need to transform university teachers’ ways of thinking
about feedback and assessment. In this article, we present a case
study of a three-year Master’s in Education offered to UK STEMM
university teachers as an opportunity to develop critically reflective
and theoretically underpinned approaches to their practice. We outline
the extent to which, in Mezirow’s terms, through a disorientating
combination of studentship, self-reflection and paradigm crossing,
the programme has the potential to change the participants’ frames
of reference. Drawing on our experiences of working with these
students and in-depth interviews we discuss the impact the programme
has had on the participants’ assumptions around feedback
and assessment, their identity, own practice and wider institutional
perspectives and practice. Barriers identified by participants that
inhibit assessment and feedback change are also explored.
