Abstract

Frequently discussed in the literature on assessment, are the ideas of assessment of learning (AoL), assessment for learning (AfL) and assessment as learning (AaL). This review paper draws the readers’ attention to the idea of assessment as learning (AaL), an assessment strategy entitled the Reflective Approach to Teaching Practicum Debriefing (RATPD) and answers the question, “To what extent is the Reflective Approach to Teaching Practicum Debriefing (RATPD) strategy an assessment as Learning (AaL) activity?” By discussing and connecting AaL and RATPD, the main conclusion was, enacting the RATPD is engaging in an actual AaL activity. Therefore, through this review paper, readers are provided with another assessment tool (RATPD) that when employed, activated and puts into action the principles of AaL.
