Abstract

Alternative assessment, encompassing methods such as portfolios, project-based evaluations, and peer assessments, aligns with 21st-century student-centered learning goals by holistically and authentically evaluating students’ progress. This research applies the systematic review literature method with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) protocol. The study analyzed 47 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2023, sourced from Web of Science, Scopus, and Education Resource Information Centre (ERIC) databases. The thematic analysis revealed three main themes: i) challenges in implementing alternative assessments, including teacher readiness and assessment skills; ii) opportunities for enhancing creativity and variety in teaching approaches; and iii) positive effects on teachers’ motivation and understanding of student learning. The findings highlight the need for targeted professional development to support teachers in effectively implementing alternative assessments. This review contributes to the growing body of knowledge on innovative assessment practices and their impact on teaching and learning in contemporary educational settings.

Abstract

Professional development in classroom assessment techniques plays a crucial role in enhancing student learning outcomes. The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA)-guided systematic review of the research literature assesses these programs to identify effective methodologies, research limitations, and trends in development, providing evidence-based recommendations for education leaders and policymakers. A structured search of Scopus and Web of Science databases, using keywords “classroom,” “professional development,” and “assessment,” yielded a final set of 43 studies. The analysis revealed four major themes: i) student-centered education; ii) classroom practices and teacher development; iii) specialized education and teacher training; and iv) assessment in education. The review demonstrates the impact of professional development programs (PDP) on teachers and addresses challenges in improving student achievement. By adhering to recognized standards for systematic reviews, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of professional development in classroom assessment, highlighting various strategies, obstacles, and successes. The findings emphasize the significance of efficient assessment for student learning outcomes and offer insights into enhancing PDP in this critical area of education.
