Innovation of College Course Assessment Method Based on Outcomes-Based Education Philosophy - Self-Service Mode

摘要

A new idea of assessment method called self-service assessment mode is proposed base on Outcomes-Based Education philosophy. It means that learning tasks should be translated into test modules and teachers set test options on the basis of these modules. Besides, students can select any item from the test menu and cumulative total score as their final score. The total score of the menu can be less than, greater than or equal to 100 points. If points of the items that a student selects are less than 100, the final score is recorded as the total number of points he or she acquired in the examinations. However, if he or she chooses more than 100 points, the final results need to be converted in accordance with the formula. It aims to encourage the students who learn well, as well as motivate underachieving students. In addition, students can evaluate their learning situation through items selection.
