Assessing learners´ skills and competences

Final assessment tools

Contents

The following assessment tools are recommended for the final assessment in the FIL course.

 

Situational judgment tests

Finance in daily life also considers aspects related to behaviour and might ask for behavioural changes. To consider this also in assessment, teachers could perform situational judgement tests bringing practical context – from work-related situations e.g. – into assessment.

They could ask learners – orally or in writing – to rate specific responses and evaluate them according to the replies. A checklist indicating best answers will help in the result analysis.

Pros

Observations can help to assess knowledge, skills and behavioural aspects. When implemented with care, they can also bring motivational aspects for participants.

Cons

Teachers should set up criteria to focus during observational practices since the aspects might be overwhelming to them.

In addition, questions related to the participant’s satisfaction with the training contents, delivery and tools could be provided to be used for an implemented ongoing quality improvement process.

Pros

The final assessment will bring reliable results about learning outcomes, over-all development and participants´ satisfaction regarding the training course or unit. It will also be a valuable input for adapting courses to improve quality.

Cons

To gain the results expected, final assessment has to be prepared and carried out carefully.
