Learning & Teaching

Inclusive

Inclusive assessment and feedback mean that all students have the same opportunities to learn through assessment and are treated equitably throughout the assessment and feedback process. Inclusive assessment and feedback practices would help to reduce the awarding gap between different groups of students, such as those based on ethnicity, disability, and/or gender, or their social and cultural capital.

Examples:

• Students contribute to assessment and feedback processes, including design, where appropriate.
• Students might be offered the opportunity to indicate the type of feedback they want, or the areas in which feedback would most benefit them (within the existing framework of marking criteria).
• Marking criteria, or some part of these, could be co-created between staff and students.
