Developing an Assessment and Evaluation Policy in Physiotherapy Education

Implementing changes in evaluation procedures within the context of university courses is a challenging task. This paper describes an educational innovation project which aims to create a department-wide evaluation and assessment policy that corresponds with a coherent and rational competence-based curriculum. An interim evaluation of the project demonstrates the importance of a department-wide evaluation and assessment policy for the transition to an educational culture where assessment is seen as a valuable tool for learning.
