Unit 4: Ethics of Assessment and Evaluation

Unit 4 explores the ethical dimensions of assessment and evaluation in language education, emphasizing the importance of fairness, transparency, and accountability in designing and implementing assessments. The unit examines common sources of bias in evaluation and offers strategies to promote equity and inclusivity. It also addresses ethical grading practices, the differences between formative and summative assessments, and how cultural and contextual factors influence assessment decisions. Through this unit, future educators will develop a critical understanding of how to conduct ethical assessments that support student learning and respect diverse learner needs.

6. Cultural Dimensions of Assessment Ethics

Cultural differences influence perceptions of fairness, competition, and the role of testing. For instance, students from collectivist cultures may struggle with highly individualised testing formats. Ethical educators must account for these differences and strive to make assessments culturally inclusive.
