Alternative assessment to enhance Theological education
Oliver, Erna
The knowledge driven, network society that is founded upon technology, demands from
students to become independent, confident and motivated life-long, self-directed learners
that can transfer their knowledge, skills and values. In order to deliver this type of graduates
from a diverse and unequal student pool, effective education must be provided. Educators
are encouraged to focus education on student-centeredness and to use technology effectively.
Alternative assessment methods that are technology driven could enable both educators
and students to become more effective in this environment. This article advocates the use
of alternative assessment methods by using technology driven assessment tools for possible
replacement of traditional, paper based and ‘one size fits all’ assessment methods within
theology. The SECTIONS framework was used to evaluate ten alternative assessment tools
that are in accord with the development within society.
