Theories of Learning and Their Implications for On-Line Assesment - Anthony Francis UNDERHILL, TOJDE
Most educational establishments, but particularly Universities are based upon disciplines and much of their practices and culture is bound up with perpetuating and promoting the inherited and transmitted wisdom that makes up the discipline base. Disciplines have traditionally strongly influenced the way that academics frame their thinking and professional identities. Members of the community that make up the discipline also transmit accepted wisdom in respect of teaching, learning and assessment within their chosen discipline. While individuals may from time to time seek to challenge or shift the dominant paradigm, it can in practice take generations for permanent changes to occur, (McDermott 1999).
