Transformative assessment in digitalised post-COVID-19 education: Implications for higher education teachers

This chapter aims to deconstruct the conceptualisation and use of transformative assessment approaches for evaluating students in the post-COVID-19, digitalised learning era. Transformative assessment is underpinned by notions of multiple and inclusive ways of assessment, which are informed by the different learning approaches. To make a case for transformative assessment during this time of educational crises, the authors discussed the conceptual/theoretical basis of transformative assessment, transformative assessment strategies, the role of teachers in transformative assessment in the post-COVID-19 era, and the role of transformative assessment in teaching/ learning in the post-COVID-19 era. The authors also explained the implications of COVID-19 for higher education teachers and made recommendations for further studies.
