Assessment drives learning

Competence vs Excellence

In aiming for competency, “The aim to 'do better' may be lost”

end point assessment –> development {consider Bloom's Taxonomy ?}

1. Novice to expert
2. Formative vs Summative (not necessarily dichotomous) ◦
   1. Limitations of summative approach - narrow
   2. Faculty do both SBS –> different power relations

1. Validity and Reliability ◦
   1. Validity - has it measured what it is supposed to measure?
   2. Typical facets vs 'construct' v
   3. Reliability - prerequirement for validity
      1. Different measurements - internal consistency; classical test theory, generalizability theory
