摘要

评估是学术机构教与学的一个组成部分。它提供了由不同的利益相关者做出若干决策所依据的主要信息。这些信息的重要性质使评估成为一项昂贵的冒险。教育机构在管理这些评估方面产生了大量成本,但他们在财政上却难以满足预算。然而,低成本的策略可以实现对学习者的真实评估。因此,本文提出了在财政拮据的高等教育机构中采用低成本评估策略的研究结果。具体地说,这项研究是在乌干达一所公立大学的教师教育教育学方面进行的,目的是确定采用的低成本评估战略。本研究采用基于描述性研究设计的定性研究方法。采用观察法、访谈法和文献法收集资料。研究结果确定,乌干达高等教育机构的个别讲师采用的低成本评估策略包括演讲、动手练习、同行评估、测试、戏剧和带回家的作业。结果表明,在资源有限的院校中,采用低成本的评估策略具有培养21世纪公民的潜力。因此,有人向资源有限国家的高等教育机构的管理部门建议在大学范围内采用低成本评估战略。

Adopting the Use of Low-Cost Assessment Strategies in Resource-Constrained Higher Education Institutions
Assessment is an integral aspect of teaching and learning in an academic institution. It provides the primary information based on to make several decisions by the different stakeholders. The vital nature of this information makes assessment an expensive venture. Educational institutions incur a lot of costs in administration of these assessments and yet they are financially struggling to meet their budgets.  However, low-cost strategies are available to bring about authentic assessment of learners. Consequently, this article presents findings about adoption of low-cost assessment strategies in financially constrained higher education institutions. Specifically, the study was conducted in teacher education pedagogy at one of the public universities in Uganda to establish the adopted low-cost assessment strategies. A qualitative research approach based on a descriptive study design was used to investigate this study. Data was collected using observation, interview and documentary review methods. Study findings established use of presentations, hands-on exercises, peer assessment, tests, drama and take-home assignments as the low-cost assessment strategies adopted by individual lecturers in higher education institutions in Uganda. It was concluded that the adopted low-cost assessment strategies in resource-constrained institutions have the potential to nurture 21st century citizens. And therefore, a recommendation for university-wide adoption of low-cost assessment strategies was suggested to management of higher education institutions in resource-constrained countries.
