• On student teacher level: Students who have completed the course outlined in the OER will
  
  • understand the dimensions of society and education policy that are related to assessment in developing teaching and education
  • understand the principles and types of multifaceted formative and summative assessment of learning and apply them purposefully as well as assess one’s own solutions critically
  • know the different functions and objectives of assessment and the significance of feedback and assessment for developing the teaching of one’s own subject and the school community
