Validity in assessment of prior learning
The article deals with the results of a study of school-based assessment of adults who have enrolled as students at a vocational college in order to qualify for occupations as skilled workers. Based on examples of methods for assessing the students' prior learning in a programme for hairdressers, the article discusses the need for specific criteria for assessment. The reliability and validity of the assessment procedures depend on whether the competences are well-defined, and whether the teachers are adequately trained for the assessment procedures.
