ABSTRACT
The background to the role of assessment in the evolution of an experiential programme in agriculture is presented in this paper. The point is made that in such a context, the process of assessment is itself in a dynamic state. The notion of a matrix of competencies is presented, as is a framework for the development and evaluation of assessment procedures themselves.
Examples of assessment procedures are outlined with particular emphasis being given to student reactions and submissions.
The paper concludes by emphasising the integrated role which assessment plays as a reflective mechanism of active learning.
