INTRODUCTION
VIII. PROGRAMME ASSESSMENT APPROACH Assessment within the context of this programme is regarded as a tool for learning, designed to measure the degree to which participants have achieved the programme’s objectives and intended learning outcomes. The adopted assessment approach is: • Communicative • Learner–centered • Interactive • Research and inquiry–based • Reflective This approach is expected to facilitate learning and enhance teaching practices. Moreover, the assessment strategy revolves around three cyclic phases, collectively acro- nymed as MRI: Monitoring the learning process, Reflecting on learning, and Improving the out- comes.
Phases of the Assessment
Phase 1: Participants will be scaffolded to mon- itor their learning progress while practicing the knowledge, skills and attitudes associated with each competence. Phase 2: Participants will be assessed sum- matively through an end-of-workshop research project and complementary activities. Phase 3: Participants will be guided to reflect on their performance. A Key Performance Indica- tor (KPI) worksheet will be provided at the end of each workshop.
