Comprehensive Guide to Assessment in Project-Based Learning

This introduction explores the essential role of assessment in Project-Based Learning (PBL) as articulated by Sue Groh from the University of Delaware. Assessment is defined as an activity assigned by the instructor to gather significant insights into a learner's performance regarding valued abilities and skills. It encompasses both formative and summative strategies, emphasizing the importance of ongoing communication between faculty and students. Learning objectives guide what students should learn, how their understanding is measured, and the value placed on that learning, integrating content knowledge with process skills effectively.
