Evaluative Judgement for Learning to Be in a Digital World

Developing a capability to judge the quality of one’s own and others’ work, or evaluative judgement, is a necessary feature of improving performance or work produced. Evaluative judgement develops through learning what constitutes quality within a particular practice or field of expertise. It has relevance for enhancing how students perform course-related tasks or assessments, as well as how they are learning to be in the present and for the world beyond higher education. This capability can support students toward fuller participation in an increasingly digital world. While evaluative judgement suggests coming to a (final) judgement, enhancing the process of learning to form judgements about quality in the present and for life beyond formal education is also of particular interest in educational settings.
