Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning Summary

Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning by Arthur L. Costa

A new volume for the Experts In Assessment series focusing on assessing students' abilities as self-directed learners. Self-directed learners are defined as self-managing, self-monitoring, and self-modifying. These three dispositions need to be assessed to determine if they are being internalized and habituated over time. Arthur L Costa and Bena Kallick use triangulation to ensure that the assessment system is balanced and complete. Assessment triangulation consists of knowledge, performance, and demonstration.

This book promises to gain a lot of interest and attention merely by the fact that it is authored by the Habits of Mind experts.

Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning Reviews

How much do students really love to learn, to persist, to passionately attach a problem or a task? ..to watch some of their prized ideas explode and to start anew? ...to go beyond being merely dutiful or long-winded? Let us assess such things. -- Grant Wiggins
