COMPUTER-ASSISTED ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES IN THE LABORATORY OF METROLOGY

ABSTRACT In the paper, didactic experience with broad and rapid continuous assessment of students' knowledge, skills and competencies in the Laboratory of Metrology, which is an example of utilisation of assessment for learning, is presented. A learning management system was designed for manage, tracking, reporting of learning program and assessing learning outcomes. It has ability to provide with immediate feedback, which is used by the students to identify their misconceptions. The computer-assisted assessment is implemented in the system using four methods: ABCD test, real time continuous assessment scattered throughout the 10 training tasks, summative assessment at the end of the training, and ranking all students from the course. The strategy of assessment is presented on the basis of theoretical background. The results of summative assessments that have been carried out during ten years of system exploitation are investigated to examine the efficiency of implemented strategy
