Abstract
This paper focuses on the importance of assessment as
part of the student learning journey in higher education.
Assessment is, however, a product of many influences, often
strong and rarely within the complete control of individual
teachers. Whilst the paper explores Constructive Alignment
theory and the influences of curriculum design it also uses
the illustrative example of seminar responses at the Faculty
of Economics of Taras Shevchenko National University of
Kyiv. At the seminar, held in May 2018, the following overall
objectives were set out:
1. To provide an overview of the UK regulation of Higher
Education as an example of a Quality Assurance based system.
2. To link the constructivist paradigm with global
accreditation in Business Education.
3. To discuss different types of assessment and different
assessment design.
Assessment is not only the focus for many students but
also the visible evidence of good pedagogic design and sound
quality assurance. The seminar included some interaction with
delegates and the paper contains observations and feedback
on the interaction of the academics at the seminar within a
pedagogic framework mirrored in global educational quality
assurance systems.
Analysis of the interactions reveals a shared understanding
of constructive alignment of assessment design within an
environment where innovation is not common.
