Shared assessment protocol improved final year project supervision

Two people in a bright, minimalist room with white brick walls work together at a wooden desk, with one seated and writing on a document while the other stands nearby observing, suggesting a mentoring or collaborative review session.

What the study found

Applying a formative and shared assessment protocol during final year project supervision in teacher education was associated with high ratings across all five assessed aspects. The study also reported clear evidence of students developing transversal competencies, along with a positive overall evaluation of the protocol.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors conclude that the protocol enabled continuity in assessment, made the competencies needed to complete final projects more visible, and reduced discrepancies between teachers and students. The findings indicate that autonomy and problem solving were the most developed competencies.

What the researchers tested

The researchers used a mixed-method research design with a concurrent triangulation model. They examined the results of applying a formative and shared assessment protocol during supervision of final year projects in teacher education.

What worked and what didn't

All five aspects assessed with the scale received high ratings. The most notable results included evidence of students' acquisition and development of transversal competencies, a positive overall evaluation of the protocol, and improvements in students' interest, initiative, and commitment. The abstract does not report any specific aspects that worked poorly.

What to keep in mind

The abstract does not provide details about sample size, setting, or the specific scale used. It also does not describe any limitations beyond noting that the study addressed a gap in using formative and shared assessment for final year projects.

Key points

  • The protocol received high ratings on all five assessed aspects.
  • Students showed development in transversal competencies, especially autonomy and problem solving.
  • The protocol was evaluated positively overall.
  • The abstract reports improvements in students' interest, initiative, and commitment.
  • The authors say the protocol increased assessment continuity and reduced teacher-student discrepancies.
