HOLISTIC APPROACHES TO ASSESSMENT: BRIDGING GAPS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

Abstract

Assessment techniques are the keys that can turn a good teacher into a great teacher. By doing the right thing, they can produce high quality output in teaching and learning. On the contrary, the traditional ways of assessing students tend to miss the all-around growth of students, because they mostly concentrate on the cognitive abilities and knowledge retention. This paper is in favour of the implementation of the holistic methods of evaluation which would include a wider variety of skills, attitudes, and competencies. The paper gives examples of different educational theories and practices, such as constructivism, socio-cultural perspectives, and competency-based education, and thus, it offers the strategies for integrating holistic assessment into teaching and learning processes. These strategies comprise of the process of performance evaluation, portfolios, self-assessment, peer evaluation, and authentic assignments. In addition, the publication examines the possible advantages of the holistic approach, for example, the development of deeper learning, the promotion of metacognitive skills, the improvement of student engagement, and the provision of more detailed feedback. Through the connection of conventional assessment methods to the multidimensionality of learning, holistic approaches to assessment are opening up the way for students to become well-rounded learners with the skills and the dispositions necessary for success in the world that is rapidly changing.
