How can students-as-partners work inform assessment?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This fourth iteration of Voices from the Field highlights some of the many meanings and practices of assessment as faculty/academic staff, professional staff, and students define it and as they situate it in relation to students-as-partners work.The goal of this section of the journal is to offer a venue for a wide range of contributors to address important questions around and aspects of students-as-partners work without going through the intensive submission, peerreview, and revision processes.For this iteration of Voices, we invited responses to the question: "In what ways can students-as-partners work inform assessment?" Recognizing that assessment means different things in different contexts, we invited contributors to specify what definition they are working with.As we expected, people's definitions, arguments, and examples were highly diverse.Contributors' definitions reflect differences of geographical location, level (course, program, institutional), and focus or priority.Regarding the last of those, definitions include reference to teachers offering opportunity to students to demonstrate knowledge and/or skills; dynamic, mutual conversations between educational shareholders; an opportunity to honor knowledge, experience, and engagement; a process of engaging students' language, agency, selfauthorship, and self-directed learning goals in dialogue with course learning goals; instructors' and administrators' evaluations of teaching; the assessment of learning and development

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
