چکیده

The term ‘learning-oriented assessment’ is introduced and three elements of it are elaborated: assessment tasks as learning tasks; student involvement in assessment as peeror self-evaluators; and feedback as feedforward.

Implications for practice are discussed through a focus on how learning-oriented assessment can be implemented at the module level.
