| Abstract: | Tertiary assessment (henceforth as: t-asmt.) policy and practice address multiple purposes that can be both complementary and contradictory to one another. Based on quantitative and qualitative data, this mixed-method study builds on the results of a large-scale survey of academic staff and student conceptions of assessment. In addition, there is a follow-up analysis of staff comments, systematic review of institutional policy documents and individual interviews with senior academic managers. Institutional policy patterns are evaluated from the viewpoint of issues emerging from the survey data and the international research literature. In conclusion, there are recommendations for the design of quality policy and practice guidelines to ensure t-asmt.'s manageablity, validity, equity and integrity. |
