Learning Outcome Based Assessment of Physics Subjects in the Estonian National Defence College

Summary/Abstract: This article is based on learning quality research. The article consists of three parts. The first and the second parts are in the form of instructional material, which include examples of exploiting the learning outcome based assessment. The third is the research part that reflects the exploiting of the learning outcome based assessment in Estonian National Defence College and its effect on achieving the learning outcomes.The main p urpose of the article is to introduce the outcome-based assessment principles and students’ preferences based on a curriculum. The subject has lately been widely debated on in Estonia: both positive and negative sides have been found. Corrections and changes have been made in almost every college curricula and syllabi. In the article there is a brief introduction of the main characteristics of outcome-based teaching, observation of the assessment methods and criteria and their accordance with the curriculum and the syllabus. The main focus of the article is on the primary experience of outcome-based assessment in Estonian National Defence College physics subjects, namely on the choice of the assessment method, the naming of the assessment criteria and the students’ feedback. There is an introduction of the results of the research conducted in 2009–2012, which deal with the exploitation of the assessment methods and criteria and their conscious use in the physics subjects of the Estonian National Defence College.
