EFFECTIVENESS AND ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS' LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION (CREDIT-MODULE SYSTEM)

Abstract

The credit-module system is a widely used approach in higher education that provides flexibility and structured academic pathways for students. It allows students to earn credits through assignments, projects, and exams, and measures their academic achievement. Effective assessment methods are essential to assess student performance and ensure that students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in their fields. This article analyzes the various assessment techniques used in the credit-module system, including formative and summative assessment, self- and peer-assessment, and competency-based assessment. It also discusses challenges associated with the assessment process, such as grade inflating, subjective assessment, and workload management, and suggests ways to address them, such as assessment criteria, technology integration, and continuous feedback. By improving assessment strategies, higher education institutions can provide a fair and comprehensive assessment system and support student-centered learning and skill development.
