Disruptive Times and Higher Education in Economics and Management: Importance of Dual Assessment

Year: 2021

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper examines quantitative methods of dual assessment of students’ skills in higher education. Through dual assessment, it tests skills important to adapt to a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment (VUCA). It does so by comparing on the one side student-generated grades and on the other side grades generated by their lecturers. The study was done on the sample of the entire 3rd-year generation of Zagreb School of Economics and Management students (N=79). Lecturers (N=2) who were doing the assessment have multiple years of grading experience. Findings suggest that overall, there are differences between self-assessment of students and assessment made by lecturers. Furthermore, there are also gender differences in student’s self-assessment. Whether for online or face-to-face courses, faculty and students may benefit using the dual assessment approach in developing more skilled students that are capable to adapt to working in ever changing and uncertain environments
