Abstract

Independent learning is fundamental within higher education. Students need self-regulatory
abilities to accurately evaluate their progress and identify where they need to improve. Effective
assessment is essential in supporting this development of self-regulatory skills. The research informed
EAT (Equity, Agency, Transparency) framework can support the development of
assessments that encourage greater self-regulation in learners. EAT focuses on 3 dimensions:
assessment literacy, feedback, and design, and is a simple tool for students and staff to use in
partnership to enhance engagement with assessment and feedback processes. This practical,
hands-on discussion session, led by a cross-European Erasmus+ funded project, will introduce
colleagues to the EAT framework and how to use it to involve students more actively in assessment
and feedback and enhance the impact on their learning. We will discuss ways of implementing
EAT to evaluate and enhance assessments, working with students as partners and active agents
in their own learning.
