Assessment, evaluation, recognition
Educational assessment is the systematic collection, review, and use, of information
and evidence to represent, evaluate and report learning, in different ways, for
different purposes. Assessment has been described as the bridge between
teaching and learning. Assessment can help us to identify and evidence learning
needs and the impact of our ideas, actions and efforts as learners, teachers and
organisations. This guide is written for educators working in enterprise and
entrepreneurship education and training and aims to introduce practitioners to
contemporary thinking, tools and practice in assessment within enterprise and
entrepreneurial education.
Assessment is essentially evaluation, i.e. the process of judging or calculating the quality, importance, amount, or value of something. What is specific about educational assessment is that it is framed in educational purposes, underpinned by educational principles, and impact is measured by the evaluation of learning evidence.
One crucial aspect of assessment in education and training is the recognition of
learners’ gained competences. Or in other words – assessment and evaluation
should lead to learners, and others, valuing their knowledge, skills, attitudes, values
and learning progress.
This guide introduces recognition and assessment and shows how the EntreComp framework can help.
The Guide has been produced as part of the EntreComp 360 Erasmus+ project
(2019-2022). It builds on companion documents that provide further guidance and information on how EntreComp, and competency frameworks generally, can support nonformal learning and youth empowerment, and how EntreComp can support assessment and or recognition in formal and non-formal learning in entrepreneurship
education.
