Digital Assessment Literacy — the Core Role of the Teacher in a Digital Environment

Abstract

One of the main functions of a teacher in a digital environment is student assessment. The need for assessment literacy based on measurement and quantitative data is weakening, both in terms of the traditional approach of the assessment on which it is based on, and given that information technologies can address these needs effectively. The assessment literacy required of a teacher today is of a completely different kind — one that is adapted to the digital environment and tailored for the pedagogical approaches of the 21st century. This article will focus on the skills, abilities, and perceptions required of the teacher in the digital environment with respect to assessment, and will demonstrate the importance of adapting the various technologies to the different assessment purposes. This definition of the term “Digital assessment literacy” is based on a doctoral thesis that examined the Relationship between the technological environment and the teaching, learning and assessment processes in online courses (Eyal, 2010).
