Authors : Kerma Mokhtar .
Abstract
This study examines the assessment strategies and practices in Oran university2, Algeria. It attempts to explore the impact of assessment procedures on learners’ motivation and academic achievements. This research adopted a mixed-methods case study design wherein both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis procedures were used to explore tertiary teachers’ assessment strategies while assessing their learners’ competencies. A random sample of 30 tertiary teachers formed the target population during the first semester of the academic year 2022. Findings reveal that some teachers continue to rely on a limited set of assessment tools, as the sole means of evaluation to meet the diverse needs of their learners. However, the study also highlights that teachers also showed a good understanding of the necessary knowledge and training required before implementing assessment tools to provide students with the necessary feedback. The results also indicate an essential need for in-service training, pedagogical support, and professional development, to meet the challenges identified by teachers in adapting and maintaining effective assessment practices at all levels of tertiary education.
